Societal challenges are complex, dynamic and constantly evolving. Teams working on such issues need skills that continue to develop. In projects that require systemic change, it is crucial to keep knowledge and expertise up to date.

To collaborate effectively, it helps when all stakeholders understand and can participate in the creative process. This creates a culture with room for new ideas, different perspectives and innovative approaches. At the same time, designers increasingly need insight into change processes, so that they can strategically embed innovative solutions within the organisational or political reality of those who own the challenge.

Together with five leading design studios, we are exploring an experimental learning environment — a place where you learn by doing.

The Role of Un/School

Un/School is the platform where two worlds come together: we provide creative experts with a stage to share their knowledge and give professionals access to practical insights that strengthen their skills.

At Un/School, learning happens by doing. Participants actively engage with new knowledge and apply it directly in practice. In this way, learning is not a separate activity but immediately relevant to everyday work.

Hosted by Dutch Design Foundation & Greenberry

Un/School was initiated by Greenberry and further developed in collaboration with Dutch Design Foundation | Coalitions. Greenberry; “With empathy, creativity, and technology, we design experiences for positive change.” DDF: “We are convinced that designers provide an essential contribution to making our world a more beautiful, sustainable and social place."
