Center for Academic Programs: CAP
There are two modes of operation in the functional structure of DESIGNalter, one is on site and the other is through outreach. The first one takes place in Miami. The second travels and displays its academic programs and practical initiatives to regions, institutions and interested persons in and outside the United States.
During the year, the foundation offers Conferences, Seminars, Forums and Thematic Encounters with the objective to provide a high level of awareness and knowledge about art, design, space and marketing as activities and ways of thinking about tangible and intangible heritage. At the center, the results of the academic activities are assimilated, organized and exposed to contribute and impact the community at large.
Professionals from different geographies and disciplines serve as guest speakers and design critics. The short term gatherings provide alternative perspectives and in depth understanding of the topics at hand. We are leaders in executive and continuing education and personal enrichment programs.

Heritage for learning Project: Youth
Nature and Design: We are not just going to walk along and around nature, but also we are going to discover it. This program offers the young and understanding of how nature can influence not only creation, but also the way of creating, living and interacting with forces that propel community formation.
City and design: The city is a place where a child, while walking around the city, can see something that will tell him/her what he wants to be for the rest of his life. The city´s tangible and intangible recourses are to be presented in their more essential and basic form, so these can be understood, explored and invited to participate in activities and games that engage the notion of heritage.
