update: today I found a link to the english version of the article at http://www.office-work.com
design journalist kathrin spohr reports in the july/august (07/08 2003) issue of the german “design report” about the british design council’s initiative to sensitise pupils for design early on. 
the project named „Designers into Schools Week“ started successfully for the first time last year. in close co-operation between renowned designers and schools 11-16 year old pupils worked on a variety of topics ranging from the redesign of the school cafeteria (with Terence Conran) to developing whole new corporate identities.
