This DDW: pay it forward

Stichting VluchtelingenWerk Nederland

This year, we have chosen to support Stichting VluchtelingenWerk Nederland. Dutch Design Week holds the foundation in high regard and hopes to raise a significant amount through donations for the betterment of refugees’ futures.

How you can contribute

Donations can be made through the VluchtelingenWerk Nederland website or our ticket shop. While purchasing your Dutch Design Week tickets, you can choose how much you’d like to donate to VluchtelingenWerk Nederland. Your support truly makes a difference in the life of a refugee.

Your donation contributes to:

• Individual assistance with the asylum process
• Reuniting torn-apart families
• Job and career coaching
• Lobbying for more humane policies in the Netherlands and Europe

Refugee Team Eindhoven and Wasbeer & Pauw

Dutch Design Week is also partnering with organisations such as Wasbeer & Pauw and Refugee Team Eindhoven. Through these partnerships, refugees are given opportunities to gain work experience as volunteers during Dutch Design Week, while also expanding their networks in Eindhoven.

Cultuur Inclusief Eindhoven

Alongside these initiatives, Dutch Design Week supports Cultuur Inclusief Eindhoven each year. This action provides 500 tickets to low-income residents of Eindhoven, ensuring that Dutch Design Week remains accessible through discounted tickets.
