Design is for everyone — especially the next generation.
With DDW Young, children, teens and schools can dive into the most fun, interactive and surprising projects. Explore specially designed routes, book a guided tour, or bring design straight into the classroom with our teaching materials.
Discover all kinds of design, creativity and technological innovation, meet designers, and get hands-on from 18 to 26 October 2025. We look forward to seeing you at Dutch Design Week!
