DDC – Dansk Design Center
DDC styrker danske virksomheder og organisationers evne til at arbejde designdrevet
We’re over the moon with excitement about the launch of our mission?Thriving Youth. It all happened on the last day of May in BLOX. We welcomed our guests to Vorby, a city we co-developed with +150 actors from the child and youth sector. In Vorby, young people thrive.
You can also visit Vorby. It’s a free scenario resource and a tactile and sensory manifestation of what a city where young people thrive might look like in 2050. You might also find inspiration from some relevant voices in our interview series.?Read the first article with Anna Ashgari here?and?the second with Anna Juul and Sara K?rn Linstow here.

Visit Vorby:?A Future City with a Thriving Youth
Imagine this; Young people in Denmark are doing better than ever before. Even with this generation’s historical challenges, they have never had more significant influence or opportunities to shape their future. Collectively, we have taken responsibility for providing a framework for young people to thrive.
That is the truth in Vorby. Visit the free scenario resource and explore:
Insiders of the Psychiatric System:?"We need bedside manners and a big boost of empathy"
Our psychiatric system is in decline, but the demand for help has never been greater – especially among the younger generation.?And a new survey states?that a large proportion of patients in the psychiatric system is lost when they turn 18.
It’s the perfect storm. But if we prioritize empathy, cross-institutional collaboration, and open the joint dialogue about the problematic aspects of life, we could face a brighter future, say Anna Juul and Sara K?rn Linstow in?this interview.

Join us for two inspirational talks as we celebrate the publication of?‘The Organization was set free, and the Leadership Had to Be Rediscovered’?by our colleagues Sune Knudsen and Christian Bason.
