Advocacy

The International Academy for Design & Health plays an important and influential role as an advocate for better standards in the design, development and maintenance of environments and spaces that support human health, well-being and quality of life.

Advocacy initiatives are targeted at government and non-governmental organisations, public bodies and the national and international press, and include: international awards programmes, public relations, lobbying and standards and guidelines development.
