Exchange & Knowledge for Programme Makers

The WDC Academy is aimed at everyone actively involved in shaping the programme of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026. Its goal is to support participants in developing impactful, inclusive and sustainable projects.

In short online talks, experts provide practical insights, methods and tools that can be directly applied to participants’ own project work. The following discussion offers space for questions, dialogue and networking.

All talks are in German.
