AOD FUTURE CREATORS DAY: Post OL & AL Creative Careers Open House
View(s):- If your creativity has ever whispered “what if?”, this is your moment to shout back “why not!”
This June, the Academy of Design (AOD)—Sri Lanka’s pioneering design campus—throws open its doors for “Future Creators Day”: a powerful call to action for 15–19 year olds who have just completed their O/Levels or A/Levels and are at the crossroads of the future. Set for Saturday, 21st June 2025, from 10AM to 3PM at AOD Campus, Colombo Innovation Tower, this immersive open house promises more than a glimpse into life as a designer, it offers a launchpad.
Come with your ideas. Leave with a new vision. Whether you’re unsure of your next step or already dreaming in fashion, interior design, fashion marketing, motion graphics or animation—this is your space to explore, connect, and begin designing your global creative future, right here from Colombo.
“Gen Z and Gen Alpha are rewriting the rules of work, identity, and creativity, redefining what it means to live, work, and create in the 21st century. AOD is offering a powerful alternative to traditional career paths,” says AOD Chairperson Linda Speldewinde. Future Creators Day is where bold young minds come together to imagine careers in a post AI world that don’t yet exist, and then build them. This isn’t just about fashion, design or art. It’s about designing a life that matters, at the intersection of a new future that’s here. AOD is where Gen Z and Gen Alpha feels they arrived at a home they belong.”
This immersive open house is more than a campus visit, it’s an invitation to explore creative careers and design the future you seek no matter where in the island you are. AOD houses students from Jaffna to Galle to Colombo and from every part of the island and beyond with international students from Maldives to India to Singapore to name a few. Creativity has no limits and it has no boundaries.
- Life at AOD, More than a Degree, A Movement : A Global Community in the Heart of Colombo
Since its inception, AOD has stood for more than just qualifications. It has shaped a new creative economy for Sri Lanka, producing young change makers who now work across industries. Awarding UK degrees through Northumbria University and partnering with top local and global companies, AOD prepares students to not just join the future, but to design it. Graduates have gone on to work with global brands and build their own ventures in fashion, animation, and digital design.
What sets AOD apart is its vibrant, inclusive community. Students from across Sri Lanka, South Asia, and beyond come together in a bold, supportive environment where creativity thrives. With a faculty of international experts from the UK, Europe, India, and the Americas, AOD offers constant exposure to global design thinking.
Here, students aren’t just trained as designers—they become global creative citizens. Whether your dream is to launch a label, work in digital media, or shape the future of sustainability, AOD is where it begins.
At Future Creators Day, you’ll see how AOD’s global network opens doors—including pathways to exclusive opportunities like the SLDF x Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Internship.
