Dulcop International is joining Atelier Toys: Prototype an Idea as its partner company. The professional workshop is designed for anyone wishing to gain practical experience in toy and product design.

Led by Irene Guerrieri and Viola Vecchi, the programme will guide participants from the development of a creative concept to the production of a working prototype, combining theoretical learning, design and hands-on experimentation in an advanced plastic prototyping laboratory.

The partnership creates a direct connection between creative talent, professional training and the manufacturing world. Dulcop will contribute a company brief inspired by the Bubble World universe, encouraging participants to explore new product opportunities and original play experiences.

The challenge reflects Dulcop’s commitment to developing innovative and sustainable products capable of extending the value of play beyond the product’s initial use.

The programme begins with 12 hours of online training on September 24 and 25, followed by a 16-hour hands-on workshop on October 7 and 8 at the Centro per l’Artigianato Digitale in Cava de’ Tirreni, Italy.

Participants will experience a complete design process, transforming an initial idea into a tangible solution that can be tested, refined and developed through prototyping.

For Dulcop, the collaboration offers an opportunity to engage with new creative perspectives while supporting the next generation of professionals interested in innovation and play.
