A profound education is essential to face your professional future and with the Roca One Day Design Challenge we wish to support that formation by contributing to the practical understanding of students and young professionals. It is for that purpose that Ahmad Alkattan, winner of the Master Design Challenge, received a summer course at the prestigious Domaine de Boisbuchet as part of his prize.
Just when the new editions are about to begin, we have decided to talk to Josep Congost, Roca Design & Innovation Director and jury of the Roca One Day Design Challenge in seven occasions, so that he can explain to us how to design, prepare and present the proposals during the competition.

The winners of the first prize of the thirteen editions of the Roca One Day Design Challenge held in 2019 have been invited to a very special event: a grand final in Barcelona. Roca has brought them together in this city, birthplace of the competition eight years ago, to participate in a full, varied and demanding program, linked to innovation, design and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Clearly design cannot be left aside of all these issues.
