The Interaction Design Foundation was founded in Denmark. Their mission was to ensure that everyone has access to Ivy League education. Think of it as "Your One-Stop Design School for you to Learn New Design Skills".  The Johannesburg Chapter was created out of necessity in 2017 as there weren't any IxDF chapters at the time. Since then, the group has grown exponentially, with members across all Joburg Digital Channels amounting to over 3000 followers. Local leaders volunteer their time to look after the community, they are not affiliated or hired by IxDF. All events are free and open to the public.
