Vision for the Future
• We propose to introduce to students in art and design schools the rights and responsibilities of design professionals.
• We defend the idea that design is a common denominator with conception and drawing, no matter what the discipline, notably before the Caisse d’assurance-maladie (CAF, national health insurance) and La Maison des Artistes.

• In permanent contact with our European colleagues we maintain a vigil on the development of legislation with the perspectives of valorizing our professions. (Calls for work, code NAF, titles…)
