(Innovation Impulse Education) In order to reassure a future flow of educational talent for primary and secondary schools, 44 schools came up with innovative ideas to boost talent and take a chance at winning the prize money to make their idea happen. 7 Winning ideas were rewarded during the awardshow organised at the Westergasfabriek, Amsterdam. The setting for the event designed by Who cares? and based on the visual identity, was made to also be reused for other events of IIO.
For this event organised by Kennisland, Who cares? turned the venue (Studio K, Amsterdam) into a Knowledgeland.
Digitale Pioniers is a platform that enables digital pioneers to set-up and promote innovative socially engaging online projects. For one of their brainstorm meetings Who cares? came up with some analog visual tools to inspire the output. (photography by Paul Keller/ Mylene Jonker)
