EDUCATION
Primary Education
Since 2021 we mainly focus on primary education (see the possibilities for secondary education below). Approximately 1500 primary school students from all over Amsterdam learn about creativity, technology and light as a form of art in a series of workshops. The education project combines art, science, tech and citizenship. Together with an artist, the students work on one of the light artworks in the route, thereby participating in a large cultural festival in their own city.
Overview of projects
Get to know more about twelve years of education and the project of Edition 12 via the video below. Via the buttons you can check out the projects and artworks of previous years.

Sign up for Edition 15
Next year, we'will once again be organising an education project for primary schools as part Edition 15 (2026/2027). Primary school students will explore the world of light art and work together to create their own artwork, which will become part of the festival.
