Established in 2020, WDO’s Young Designers Circle Programme harnesses the creativity and ambition of the next generation of design leaders and educators, across multiple disciplines and regions.  

The programme is aligned with WDO’s mission to design for a better world, and its objectives to promote the use of design to help meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

This initiative aims to strengthen the role of design leadership today, by planting seeds that will lead to a large impact tomorrow.  

The Young Designers Circles programme consists of two groups who work collaboratively and independently over a 2-year term.
