Why YA?
Each year hundreds of designers graduate at Dutch design schools. They all can't wait to kickstart their career. But pretty much all of them have in common that they have no experience with the social and business sides of the design field. BNO takes the leap together with these designers to guide them through the first years after graduating. YA! offers information, knowledge, skills, a network and a stage so that they can develop themselves into a true professional.
During Dutch Design Week we organize a big exhibition together with the graduates. They are involved in every part of organising the event, from building the exhibition materials, to creating the visual identity and calling the speakers for the Evening Sessions.

Dude YA Special!
For the fourth year Dude Magazine published a graduate special. We asked graduates to submit their graduate project, after which a team of former 'Dudes' selected their favourite 30. These were then presented in the October issue of Dude Magazine.
The selection committee 2018 consisted of: Chloé Rutzerveld (food design), Sanne Schenk (interior design), Joost Jansen (fashion design), Jeroen Barendse (digital design), Simone Post (product and textile design) and Gijs Kast (illustration).
This edition of Dude Magazine was launched at our location at Dutch Design Week, during the evening of Tuesday the 23rd of October.
