Ardagh Young Creatives x Design Can Networking @ the Design Museum

Are you aged 14 – 25 and curious about design?

Join the Ardagh Young Creatives and Design Can for an inspiring afternoon of networking with professionals working across different design fields.

What to expect:

Join this free event for the opportunity to meet professional creatives working in the realms of design including architecture, photography, engineering, art direction, graphic design, fashion and more.

We believe the design world isn't as diverse as it could be and we want to make a positive change. We welcome young people of colour, those with a neurodivergence or disability, those who access free school meal or pupil premium (or have done in the past), young carers, those who have carer experiences or are care leavers, and those who identify with a marginalised group.

This is an opportunity for young people to ask the burning questions about what it’s really like to work within design, find out more about creative career paths and learn from inspiring people. This event will support young people on communication skills and provide a safe space for honest, uplifting conversations.

The day will start with young people learning about communication techniques, and honing questions about their future careers. Then we'll head into rounds of speed networking to get sound advice from designers working in the creative sector followed by casual networking with games, conversation and refreshments.

This event is in collaboration with Design Can, a non-profit helping shift the power balance in the creative industry to be more inclusive and representative.
