Next Gen Design project brings together young people and designers to learn together, exchange ideas and develop innovative solutions for sustainable design. It is supported by the European Union through the Creative Europe program and brings together five leading European design platforms and festivals: Skopje Design Week (Public Room), Mikser Festival from Belgrade (Mikser), designaustria from Vienna, What Design Can Do from Amsterdam and Barcelona Design Week (Barcelona Design Center).

In order to find out first-hand the opinion of young people on environmental issues and knowledge about the European Green Deal, a survey was launched as a key part of the project. By completing it, everyone between the ages of 18 and 35 influences the creation of an open call, expressing their views on the aforementioned topics. After closing, the results of the research will be publicly available to all organizations that work with young people, in the form of a publication, which will be found on the project platform.
