Access to the occupational realm is the most important factor (besides education) for successful integration of foreigners. In this intercultural workshop, designers, architects, and artisans who recently immigrated to Austria, together with local changemakers and people from the creative fields, will take up the question of how design can contribute to maximizing the refugees’ potential with regard to integration and work.
The aim of this IDRV-moderated workshop is to envision abstract ideas in implementation scenarios; in addition, the workshop offers an opportunity for dialog and networking with colleagues working in Vienna’s creative scene.

VIENNA BIENNALE App

Nominate your "Changemakers" for the StadtFabrik topics!

The ongoing VIENNA BIENNALE Ideas for Change app serves as a participative tool for the StadtFabrik.  Changemakers can continue to be nominated for the main themes of the StadtFabrik and add to the densifying network of established creative industrial production in the city.

The changemaker nominated by the StadtFabrik [City factory] for the area INCLUSION, A Wiener, halal!, makes the typical Austrian “Wiener” hotdog stand accessible to a broader audience by adapting it to Islamic dietary restrictions (“halal”). This artistic intervention merges stereotypes and culinary traditions and inspires encounters, dialog, and mutual respect through common mealtimes.
