The V&A inspires next generation of designers

Other subjects Outdoor learning Resources and projects
From Charles Rennie Mackintosh to Alexander McQueen, the UK has long been renowned for its creativity and design prowess.

Now one of the country’s best loved museums has announced a new programme to inspire the next generation of designers.

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) is using its Art Fund Museum of the Year 2016 prize money to fund DesignLab Nation, a national schools programme to revive art and design education in schools.
DesignLab Nation will launch in September, targeting 11 to 16-year-olds in predominantly industrial areas.

Secondary schools will be partnered with local museums and regional creative industries to inspire pupils, train teachers and highlight the essential role that art, design and technology play in young people’s education. The programme will also support the new design and technology GCSE.
