Kulturmødet Mors can be described as a summit for Danish cultural life, bringing together a large number of cultural institutions, organisations and decision-makers every year. This year, Kolding School of Design took part to share the latest knowledge from design research, which can open up new perspectives on communities, cultural experiences and opportunities for children and young people to participate.

Kulturmødet Mors brings together stakeholders from across Danish cultural life, creating a space to exchange experiences and discuss the opportunities and challenges that matter to the cultural sector right now.

Kolding School of Design has entered into a three-year collaboration with the National Museum of Denmark, the Danish Museum of Science and Technology, the Royal Danish Theatre, Dansk Kulturliv and Kulturmødet Mors. The aim is to bring research-based knowledge about communication and exhibitions into play.

Researchers from the Playful Attractions research programme at LAB for Play Design share their knowledge through talks, conversations and activities that demonstrate how design approaches and design research can contribute to new cultural experiences, stronger communities and more opportunities for participation.

- Cultural institutions need to reach new generations and develop together with them. In a society shaped by rapid technological change and changing cultural habits, museums, theatres and libraries are being challenged to rethink how they engage with their audiences. At the summit for children’s and youth culture on Mors, Kolding School of Design is helping to demonstrate how our research-based, playful design approaches and design research can translate these changes into new cultural experiences, innovative formats for engagement, stronger communities and better opportunities for children and young people in particular to participate and become co-creators, explains Associate Professor Sune Klok Gudiksen.
