Together with the departments, Rietveld and Sandberg organise a series of monthly lectures to prepare students and recent graduates for professional practice after their studies. By inviting both experts and alums, the series aims to give participants a clearer idea of what professional practice they aspire to and what their first steps will be after graduation.  

The programme is open to Rietveld and Sandberg students as well as alums who have recently (< 5 years) graduated. 

The monthly programme starts at 17:15 hrs and is followed by a communal meal prepared by the Rietveld Canteen to discuss the topic further and connect with each other. (Note: participants pay for their own meal, we pay for a drink). 

Keep an eye out for the invitation to the first session 'Keeping Community’ on Thursday 24 October, hosted by Anna Jensen (Head of designLAB, Rietveld) and Anja Groten (Design department director, Sandberg). The next session will be held on Thursday 14 November, focusing on life as a self-employed professional. 

We hope to see you there!
