EDUCATION

Since the first edition of Amsterdam Light Festival in 2012 we actively aim to enthuse a new generation about (light) art.

In the fall of 2024 our workshop program for the education project of Edition 13 will kick off! Curious to stay up to date? You can follow the project via our project page. Click on the button below.

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
