World Design Weeks
World Design Weeks is a network for design weeks and festivals around the globe.
World Design Weeks is a force for openness. In these times of uncertainty, we need new ideas on how to improve our economy and our societies, and design can be the answer. New thoughts and ideas only emerge when we’re open and collaborative. We reach out, throwing our arms wide, and invite new members to join our global design family. We believe in unity and inclusivity. Our identity is inspired by the tilt of the Earth’s axis: a fundamental aspect of our planet that affects all of us, whoever and wherever we may be. It reminds us we are all the same. And it reminds us that the simplest detail can change the world.
The network consists of more than 40 design festivals around the world. It connects growth metropolises’ creative urban festivals and their partners, such as academies and companies representing the design industry. The objective is to promote collaboration in the design field, to support product development, and to develop the economy of creative fields.
As World Design Weeks, we unite the planet’s design communities. We share knowledge, resources and best practice, fostering the exchange of products and ideas, sustainable development, and the growth of individual design events.
Our mission: to elevate the global conversation, understanding, education and connection of people with design. Let’s do it together.
