Biografie
Claudia Acklin studied social pedagogy and journalism and worked for more than 12 years as a journalist (Tages-Anzeiger, Swiss National Radio etc.). During that period she produced and directed two full-length documentaries revolving around "taboo" issues such as dying from AIDS ("Ich lebe gern. Ich sterbe gern") and young suicides ("Hunger nach Leben"). She is the co-author of a dozen interviews with people involved with the Letten experience in Zurich, a place that received sad international fame as the "Needle Park". In the past ten years she has mainly been working in the educational field as a lecturer, school co-director and a developer of new study programmes such as the MAS Digital Media or the BA Design Management at Lucerne School of Art and Design. She has been the Head of the programme since its successful start in 2006 and has been doing research in the area of accessibility, design and management. Lately, she developed a tool to support SMEs in their use of design. This year she was a founding member of the association "Swiss Design Transfer", a regional centre for design promotion and support.
