INTEREST GROUPS
Ornamo’s interest group activities are the members’ own platform, where community members can meet and discuss of a topic or field of interest. The interest group can organise discussions, events or write online articles for Ornamo’s channels.
You can join Ornamo’s interest group activities by either joining an existing group or starting your own. Each interest group will have its own mailing list, allowing members to stay connected and communicate about the group’s activities. The open events organized by the interest groups will be published in Ornamo’s event calendar and member newsletters.
To establish a new interest group, a team of 3-5 people is required, with at least one person being a member of Ornamo. Application forms will be reviewed in September of the current year. Once the application is approved and the group is officially established, it will be opened for new members to join.
Joining the interest groups is now open!
Ornamo’s new interest groups provide an opportunity to network, share expertise, and collaboratively develop the design field with other professionals. The groups meet in an informal setting to discuss current topics, exchange ideas, and find inspiration. Explore Ornamo’s interest groups in the menu below. New groups are marked with an asterisk (*).
