The subtheme 'One size won't fit all' is about the need for an inclusive, diverse society. A realisation that is slowly taking hold in society. Designers Wouter Corvers, Miao Li and Christina Michael explain how they deal with this in their work. Watch the video and read more about the subtheme in our magazine item.
An inclusive society is a society that is committed to the participation of all, a society in which every citizen has a stake and where the notion of mutuality is at the very core. It is also a society in which everyone feels seen and represented. These notions are often taken for granted in the Netherlands, but in practice, they are far from self-evident.

A discussion that is widely present in the greater society, but only sporadically so in the design sector.
