EDUCATION 2020

VIENNA DESIGN WEEK/Kollektiv Fischka/Kramar

Fresh formats included the Beisl tours with well-known Meidling personalities, customized team tours with the experts from the festival team, digital educational focuses, such as the Tik Tok Tour, and themed architecture walks through the neighborhood.
