Open Design Lab (ODL) is a spin-off of the Open Design Course. Spread over three years, between September 2025 and July 2027, ODL takes place in Kortrijk, Gent and Brussels. At the end of each collective learning and experimenting trajectory, the prototypes and research objects are shown in an exhibition.
ODL is organised for refugees, asylum seekers and newcomers. Across these three editions, we aim to build a strong community with and for the participants, expanding their professional networks by connecting them with local cultural and artistic professionals from Flanders and Brussels.
