OUTREACH

Festivals are places for meeting people and experiencing things. They create informal settings and safer surroundings for exchanging and understanding. This is the spirit with which the diverse outreach program of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK takes visitors of every age by the hand and offers them opportunities to experience and access design as well as to discuss it with others. 

From the classic guided tour through the Festival Headquarters to insider tours of hidden places (Graffiti! Digital doppelgangers! Jewish Leopoldstadt!) – the program offers dozens of perfect opportunities for sharing experiences that will provide us with rich memories in our daily lives. One special focus is the program for schools and children, which aims to make the notion of design more tangible to young people. In other words: The outreach program of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK brings design to the place, where it is most urgently needed – to the people.
