Why DDW Young?
Children and young people are the makers of the future. That’s why it is so important that they see and experience the value of design for our future world. If they grow up with the realisation that design is an essential element of economic, social and ecological development, they will be more inclined to apply design thinking in their later lives, as clients, users of designers themselves.
Design can also play an important role in education:
- Students learn critical thinking.
- It helps them work well together.
- They experience the freedom and autonomy design thinking brings.
