LSD - Lisbon School of Design opened the doors of its Lisbon and Porto schools to welcome more than 100 participants to one of the most inspiring events of the year: the LSD 2025 Open Day.
With the aim of showcasing the school, the courses and the creative community that defines LSD, the day was marked by a dynamic, engaging and - above all - transformative agenda for those who visited us. Pedro Mendonça, General Director of LSD - Lisbon School of Design, said: "This Open Day was much more than a simple presentation of our training offer - it was a celebration of the creative community we have been building. Seeing our teachers, alumni and visitors together, sharing knowledge and enthusiasm for design, reinforces our mission as a school. Without a doubt, a landmark moment for LSD."

Design in the spotlight
During the day, visitors were able to attend presentation sessions on our most popular courses: Interior Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design and Web 4.0 Design. Each of these sessions was attended by experienced teachers and former students who shared their journey and real-life testimonies from those who have lived the LSD experience from the inside.
Conversations that inspire
The program also included four LSD Talks hosted by external guests - professionals from different areas of design - who provided valuable insights into the market, the future of the profession and the role of creativity in today's world. You can watch these Talks using the links below:

"It was with enthusiasm that we welcomed and brought together participants, teachers and former students in order to help spread the word about the course."

A complete experience
In addition to the talks and presentations, participants were invited to visit our spaces on guided tours and explore the creative atmosphere that characterizes LSD up close.
There were also exclusive benefits for those who attended: a special discount on course registration and an LSD goodie bag with tote bag, pen, stickers and information brochure - a small gesture to mark a big step.
What the participants said
The energy experienced throughout the day confirmed the impact of this initiative. As Tânia Matos, a participant in the LSD Open Day in Lisbon, told us: "The Open Day was fantastic. The teachers explained everything in detail, which was great because we left with no doubts. I've already signed up". The sharing, the questions and the desire to learn confirm that we are building something important and transformative.

We'll do it again
This Open Day reinforced what we already knew: that design changes lives and that LSD continues to be the starting point for anyone who wants to change their future.
Without a doubt, this is an initiative that we will repeat next year - with even more energy, novelties and a desire to inspire.
The journey begins here. Thank you to everyone who was part of this day.
The LSD team.
