Secondary schools
Spark your class's curiosity
Design is everywhere. But does it work for everyone? Is every design equally accessible? Is every product good for the planet? And if not, how can we change that? Our guided tours and workshops encourage students to look beyond the object itself. Together, they explore the impact of design on people, society and the environment while discovering how they can help shape a better future. Expect lively discussions about innovation, sustainability and creativity.
