Kreando Futuronan | Radical Data

The Dutch Caribbean region lacks readily accessible programmes that introduce teenagers to design and digital culture. If they want to pursue creative careers, they often have to leave the region. Kreando Futuronan offers these young people the opportunity to explore and apply design and digital culture. The year programme focuses on developing practical skills to digitally design stories, from both their own community and far beyond. The year programme has two streams: Spark for 12-18-year-olds, with hands-on creative workshops introducing design and digital culture, and Sustain for 18-28-year-olds. Sustain participants receive professionalisation workshops and training to give workshops themselves. They also learn how to develop their creative initiatives into sustainable organisations that can contribute to a thriving ecosystem for the next generation of Dutch Caribbean designers and artists.
