Professional Integration to be designers

Step 1

Learning Community

​Open-door and free design courses in graphic and UI/UX for newcomers in Berlin.

Partner with like-minded organizations to find migrants interested in the design world and provide a safe, supportive and positive environment to explore design.

Step 2

Launchpad (Apprenticeship)

A select cohort of students from our Learning Community work on real-world client projects to build a design portfolio.

With in-depth guidance and mentoring from our advisors and teachers, our students not only gain practical design knowledge but also skills necessary to thrive as a professional designer.

Step 3
Career in Design

Equipped with knowledge of design and communication skills, our students are ready for full-time design positions at our partner client companies.
