Design is a tool, the world our playground. Design is more than just form and function—it's a way to shape reality, challenge perspectives, and create meaningful impact.

Whether through digital experiences, motion design, UX, branding, or speculative futures, design empowers us to reimagine the possible. WDTW is organised by the Leeuwarden School of Design, the bachelor programmes Teacher of Fine Arts and Teacher of Theatre, and the master programme Health Innovation.

WDTW was first organised in 2022 under the name You x Design x The World. From its 2024 edition onwards, it has been known as We x Design x The World.
