Become a part of the change our society needs

Discover how a design-driven approach creates impact, how meaningful collaborations emerge and how you, whether civil servant or designer, can contribute to change today. Through practical examples we show the unique skills designers bring. In addition, four international top voices share their perspectives on the global impact of collaboration between design and government.

Do you want to start this collaboration as a designer or civil servant, or are you looking for support to get projects moving? The exhibition offers the ingredients, knowledge and tools to move from inspiration to strong collaboration in a clear process.

Who?

Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur & Wetenschap and Dutch Design Foundation. Supported by CLICKNL. With contriburions from Bruno Doedens, Arcadia, De Reuringdienst, Gemeente Eindhoven, Gemeente Leeuwarden, Gemeente Terneuzen, Gemeente Utrecht, Okra Landschapsarchitecten, Provincie Friesland, Provincie Zeeland, Stichting Bouwdepot and Studio Sociaal Centraal.

Why?

The major challenges of our time call for new ways of working. Design can help: designers bring complex issues to light, open new doors and help systems connect better with society.

Governments are therefore increasingly working with designers. This brings opportunities, but also challenges. Design moves step by step and is flexible, while government processes often follow fixed rules.

With the PONT programme, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Dutch Design Foundation, with support from CLICKNL, strengthen the collaboration between government and the design sector.
