Design Summer Camp for children and young people in Kolding

January 24th, 2012

Spend your summer holiday developing your design talent

This summer DesignKolding invites children and young people to a one-week summer camp focusing on design. It will be a week of inspirational presentations and exciting workshops. Furthermore, the Design Summer Camp is an amazing opportunity to get up close with professional designers and experience their work processes.

Design Campers will work with idea generation and turning ideas into concrete sketches or models. Professional designers and design teachers will guide the Design Campers through the different stages.
The Design Summer Camp is a collaboration between the Municipality of Kolding and several educational institutions and design businesses in Kolding.
