Background
The IAPS Education Network was founded based on the efforts and the call of Necdet Teymur in 1992 during IAPS 12th in Halkidiki, Greece. He continued to lead the network until 1998 when Ashraf Salama and Joy Potthof joined him in convening the activities of the Network during IAPS 15th in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The role of Teymur continued to be instrumental, specifically in generating critical discourses on education and design pedagogy until IAPS 19 in Alexandria, Egypt, 2006. Ashraf Salama has been leading the Network solely from 2006 to 2020. Dina Shehayeb joined Ashraf Salama in convening the activities of the Network and following her efforts they have jointly organised the Education Symposium as part of IAPS 25 June 2020, (Online) Quebec City, Canada.
