Call for participation: Design as collaborative practice
Interdisciplinary workshops from 14.10 to 15.11.2025 as part of the Luxembourg Design Festival 2025, organised by inProgress A.s.b.l., in collaboration with Digital Learning Hub.
inProgress invite local designers (including design students) from all disciplines, graphic, product, fashion, digital, service, interior, architecture, sound, and beyond, to take part in a series of interdisciplinary design workshops leading up to the Luxembourg Design Festival in November 2025.
Over a series of workshops, we come together starting in October (1-2x/week) to explore the creative process around a topic. Identifying needs, generising ideas, designing concepts, testing prototypes – by collaborating across fields, we hope to open new perspectives, exchange methods, and let creativity flourish in ways that differ from our everyday practice, while connecting with likeminded people. The aim is not to produce a polished final product; instead, in groups of 2-5 people, we explore and work on prototypes together.
