DC Living Lab is an international student exchange programme on creativity and innovation powered by the Districts of Creativity Network. In 2024, the DC Living Lab will take place both online (March 18-22) and in-person during the Creativity World Forum (April 15-17) in Bilbao, Spain.
The programme is organised by KSIgune and Travelling U, on behalf of Basque Government and DC Network.
The DC Living Lab 2024, organized by the Districts of Creativity Network, involves international student teams addressing real social challenges in the Creative and Cultural Industries. It features a hybrid format with both online and in-person components and is coordinated by KSIgune and Travelling U.
The DC Living LAB program addresses challenges within the CCIs. It focuses on four key thematic areas and involves a specific methodology, online bootcamp sessions, and an in-person forum for participants to present their solutions and engage with industry professionals.
The DC Living Lab 2024 is open for young creative people from all over the world who believe that together we can change the inevitable!
“An amazing week, and as with many others it sent me home appreciating the warm thought that there is a bright future ahead of us with so many smart, creative people who just want to contribute for the good.”
– Ellen Comhaire, participant DCLivinglab 2017
“A wonderful journey to be a part of. Young students from all over the world joined together to collaborate, solve problems and work on real life challenges. It was very inspiring to see talented and creative minds meet, work, laugh, get new friends and connect cross disciplinary during the time we spent together.”
