MEDS Workshop 2025 Rijeka: The City of Textures
The 14th edition of the MEDS Workshop will take place in Rijeka, Croatia. This year, the theme of the MEDS Workshop invites participants to dive into the stories and experiences of Rijeka, exploring its rich history, culture and dynamic present through its unique textures.
Why Rijeka?
Rijeka, with its rich history and vibrant present, is a city shaped by industrial strength, reflective waters, creativity, and the echoes of human stories. Four central narratives define the city's collective memory, each contributing to its layered identity. Their interplay, overlap, conflict, fusion, prevalence and vibration create unexpected scenarios. The textures of Rijeka are not merely something that can be seen or touched; they are experienced and felt, making Rijeka a
city that leaves a lasting impression. MEDS has the opportunity to become part of these layers, exploring these textures and contributing to Rijeka's ongoing story.
How to Get Involved?
Designers, architects and artists are encouraged to apply as tutors, proposing and leading project ideas that align with the workshop's theme. A pair of tutors will work closely with participants, utilizing the provided tools and locations to bring their concepts to life. The annual tutor call is a chance to shape not only projects but also the international dialogue that defines MEDS.
When and Where?
The workshop will take place from July 30 to August 18 2025 in Rijeka, Croatia. Join us in shaping a city that thrives on creativity, connection, and storytelling.
What Is MEDS Workshop?
It is an international workshop for students and young professionals in the fields of design, architecture, urbanism, photography, and other creative disciplines. Each summer, the workshop gathers around 200 participants from across the globe to collaboratively design and build group projects over the course of two weeks. Participants have the opportunity to exchange ideas, broaden their knowledge, and form lasting friendships with people from diverse
cultural backgrounds, meanwhile tutors also get to execute their projects. These workshops foster an international environment where educational and cultural themes are seamlessly intertwined.
Since its inception in 2010, the workshop has been hosted in a different location each year. Previous editions have taken place in Ireland, Spain, Greece, Poland, Lebanon, Belgium, Armenia and other countries, showcasing its commitment to diversity and global engagement.
