VIENNA DESIGN WEEK

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK Stadtarbeit In Stadtarbeit a format was developed within the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK festival enabling designers to participate in the event by producing a project so outstanding for its qualities in addressing social themes that it qualified for selection by a jury. Participation in the festival is free of charge because of this selection; moreover a grant of € 700,- (excl. VAT) is available for implementation costs. The goal of Stadtarbeit is to push through projects that address issues of social development just as much as urban work, the social space, improvement of communication between different population groups, and improvement of the living conditions of minorities. As far as possible, this will concern projects in the public space, but they must at least be accessible and understandable to the general public. This is regardless of whether they materialise as an action, a participatory project, an object or a guideline for action.
