In the past six months WdKA students Amarens van Herpen (Fine Art and Design Teacher Training), Jodie Joossen and Ties Kweekel (Spatial Design) have worked on designing the school of the future, a project commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. This year Ministry celebrates its centenary and asked several art academies in the Netherlands to come up with a new perspective on the school of the future.

The project of the WdKA-students has been presented on Thursday, June 7th, during the Future Festival at NEMO, Amsterdam. The work will then be shown in the Education Museum in Dordrecht. Detailed information about this project and an interview with the creators is coming soon.

WdKA tutors Jan Melis, Harm Scholtens and Levien Nordeman have supervised this project.
