Design Jam
Help design a
warmer home for
De Warmste Week
Saturday 12 December 2026, 9:00–18:00 / Z33, Hasselt, Belgium
Response_Able Futures, the international, cross-disciplinary master’s programme in Design and Healthcare, invites you to a day of designing for a good cause. Sign up now!
A warm home
starts with care
Feeling at home is about more than a roof over your head. It’s also about safety, connection and the care you receive: at home, on the street, in hospital or in a care home. It’s about feeling good.
At the ResFut Design Jam 26 you work in teams on real questions from care and welfare organisations in Limburg. Experienced designers and experts help you understand the problem and develop your idea into a prototype or concept that you hand back to the organisations.
What the day looks like
Explore
You get to know your team and the care question. Together you explore what’s going on and choose a direction.
Design and make
You develop the idea and make it tangible. Coaches think along and help you move forward.
Pitch and party
You pitch to a jury of designers, healthcare professionals and companies. Then: the award ceremony and drinks & bites.
A box full of
festival tickets
The winning team(s) go home with vouchers for regional and national design and music festivals and events tickets.
Hey design students and graduates, join us!
Are you a recent design graduate or currently studying product or industrial design, graphic design, architecture, game design or something related? Then join us. Graduating soon? Then this is a great moment to broaden your regional network in design.
You can work with students you know, or with students from other programmes and disciplines. Together you put your combined skills to work on a real design question, and you meet people from the regional design field and the healthcare sector. Join as an individual or as a team!
Support us as a sponsor
It is only with support from sponsors that this Design Jam is possible and that we are able to raise money for De Warmste Week. Next to this, sponsorship means that concepts and prototypes by up and coming designers get into the hands of the organisations that need them most.
Materials, services, catering and prizes are welcome too. A tailor-made partnership is also possible.
All amounts exclude VAT.
