Can the creation of new projects and ethical behavior go hand in hand nowadays?

It's time to get out of home! GDD walks are an opportunity to see the unique selection of projects for Gdynia Design Days with our guide. The new formula will allow you to even better understand the concepts behind the projects. The city walks will be created by following different design works selected within six thematic blocks.

Today more than ever you can see how responsible the task is to create new items. When Design is Ethical, it is a route on the role of the designer in influencing the contemporary consumption model. The task of design today is not only the sustainable use of raw materials, but also the creation of positive patterns of manufacturing and selling items.

The event is in line with the assumptions of the New European Bauhaus initiative.

For the sake of our common safety, we have prepared a form for participants with a statement about their current health condition. You can download the document from our website, fill it in at home, and then take it with you for a walk. You can also fill in the form on the spot. To do this, report to the guide before the start of the walk. In this situation, please arrive at the place one minute in advance so that the walk can start on time.
During the walks, a photographer will be present to record our trip. If you do not want photos, please report this to your guide before starting the walk.
More information on the rules for walks can be found in the regulations. See you soon!
