Walk & Talk

Step outside the classroom and into the streets of Ghent. During this interactive city walk, your students will discover that design is about far more than beautiful objects. Together, we explore the work of designers who refuse to accept the world as it is and instead challenge it. How do they respond to today's social and environmental issues? 

 Along the way, the guide encourages the class to look critically at their surroundings and introduces a series of intriguing objects that spark discussion. How do your students see the world, and what role can design play in shaping their future? Together, we explore the power of design through real-life examples of urban mining, fair fashion, inclusion and reuse. 

 This city walk was co-created with students from Sint-Lucas School of Arts Ghent. A tour by young people, for young people
