2026

WDTW 2026 is structured as three days of showing, making, and meeting — each with its own focus, rhythm, and intensity.

The programme moves from inspiration to reflection, from experimentation to exchange. You will encounter exhibitions of student work across years and disciplines, installations, showcases, and open workspaces where making is visible and unfinished. Alongside this, talks and lectures open up perspectives on creativity, imagination, authorship, impact, and the role of design in a changing world.

Hands-on workshops, pressure cookers, and collaborative sessions invite active participation. Not as side activities, but as integral parts of the programme. Design here is something you do, not something you consume.

Throughout all days, WDTW 2026 creates space for conversation: between students and teachers, disciplines and domains, education and practice. A shared moment in which work is brought into the open, ideas are tested, and connections are formed.

WDTW 2026 is not about a single highlight or final outcome. It is about experiencing design as a living practice unfolding in real time, in a real community, in a real world.
