On the 1st September, 2008, the British designers, the research team of British Royal Collage of Art and Chinese designers, the members of volunteer committee and the representatives from Guangzhou Disability English Training Center gathered together in International Conference Hall of “City of Design” creative industrial estate to attend “living Together, Innovating Together” inclusive design seminar , which was held by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Consulate-General Guangzhou and Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn center. The aims of this seminar were to improve the awareness of cohesive society and to hope the designers can take the disabled as the starting point to design the products that would reflect the thoughts of “cohesive and inclusive“ and draw more public attention to the disabled.

The sprits of “Inclusive Design” lie in considering the special needs of some groups such as the disabled, the old, the children and patient. However, the design proposals must apply to the mainstream design market.
