EDUCATION PROGRAMME

The education programme consists of a series of workshops, where groups of students, under the guidance of a mentor, work on an assignment for a ‘real’ commissioner at a ‘real’ location. Click here for the participating schools/programmes.
The Great Indoors draws attention to the latest developments in interior design on a (Eu)regional, national and international level. In doing so, The Great Indoors provides an important contribution to research and education in the field of design in the broadest sense of the word.
Marres, Bureau Europa and Frame are proud to announce that leading tile-manufacturer Mosa will sponsor the 2013 Great Indoors Award.
The Great Indoors is made possible by the City of Maastricht, the Province of Limburg, the Creative Industries Fund and Mosa.
