DutchCulture X Baltan Laboratories: Raise Your Voice programme 2024

Raise Your Voice (RYV) is a 5-month learning and coaching trajectory for Netherlands-based designers, artists and makers who focus on social, economic, political and ecological challenges in their work. The aim is to support them in the development of their professional practice and to stimulate self-reflection. DutchCulture partners up with Baltan Laboratories to develop a training course on international collaboration.

The programme consists of:
- content sessions that stimulate self-reflection and help participants position themselves and their practice;
- practical sessions that focus on skills needed to set up a professional design practice;
- an international exchange to the Salone del Mobile in Milan to expand participants’ international network;
- individual coaching.

The trajectory is concluded with a zine that bundles the participants’ experiences and development to share the results with a broader public.

• Motivation to participate and an introduction of who you are
• Current project(s) you are working on
• (optional) Portfolio + link to your website / socials

Deadline: 31 January 2024, 23:59 (CET). Selected participants will receive a notification in the beginning of March.
