The Next Gen Design 2025 journey has officially begun! Following the announcement of 50 winning projects under the theme “Redesign Tomorrow, Today”, all selected creatives came together for the very first time during an inspiring Welcome & Orientation Meeting.
It was a moment of excitement and connection, as the winners finally saw each other and their creative ideas for the first time! Each project offered a glimpse into the future of sustainable, inclusive, and impactful design, setting the tone for the upcoming residencies hosted by leading European design festivals and weeks: designaustria at Vienna Design Week, WDCD in Amsterdam, Skopje Design Week, Mikser Festival in Belgrade, and Barcelona Design Week.
The meeting also covered key responsibilities and next steps, setting the foundation for the collaborative and transformative residency experience.
As part of the next steps, the Mikser Festival will kick off the first preparatory residency meeting on 17th of April, bringing together the ten creatives selected to participate in the Belgrade residency programe. The remaining design festivals/weeks will soon follow, launching their meetings in the same format.
Stay tuned as we follow these 50 changemakers on their mission to redesign tomorrow — today!
