WHY THIS CHALLENGE?
What Design Can Do (WDCD) is an Amsterdam-based design platform that advocates the social impact of design. The current refugee crisis is one of the most urgent and complex issues of our time. It needs all the creative problem-solving that we can mobilize. The WDCD Refugee Challenge appeals to designers of all kinds to pool together their brightest, boldest ideas to help make a difference where it is direly needed; specifically refugees in cities, as 60 per cent of the world’s 20 million refugees now live in urban areas.
