Connecting knowledge with the next generation
We believe the future of our industry depends on the people who will shape it tomorrow. That’s why education, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing are at the heart of everything we do. This page is dedicated to student projects created in partnership with universities, schools, and educators around the world.
By engaging directly with students, we not only share valuable expertise but also help them connect classroom learning to real-world challenges. These collaborations enrich our community and keep our mission forward-looking and innovative.

Project team
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our members who generously contribute their time and expertise during our educational days. Their willingness to share knowledge plays a vital role in shaping these learning experiences. Most of all, we extend a special thank you to the three pioneers who drive the educational mission of the GWG forward:
Raša is an educator and researcher in graphic communications and technology, with a strong focus on graphic prepress, PDF technologies and color management. She brings a deep understanding of digital workflows and print production, grounded in both academic knowledge and hands-on experience. In addition to her technical specialization, she has a deep interest in multisensory design, exploring how visual communication can engage multiple senses to create more inclusive and impactful experiences. Above all, she is driven by a love of teaching and sharing knowledge – inspiring students, supporting young professionals, and helping bridge the gap between education and industry. She believes deeply in giving back to the community through education, collaboration and thoughtful design, with the hope of making the world just a little bit better.
Živko has been a member of the Ghent Workgroup since 2019. He has been active in the creative outreach subcommittee, that has now been merged with the marketing subcommittee.
Živko is a full professor at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Department of Graphic Engineering and Design in Novi Sad, Serbia, and a lecturer at the University of Banja Luka since 2012. With more than 23 years of experience in graphic production and technology, he combines academic expertise with practical industry knowledge, including work as a consultant for print standardization. He currently serves as Head of the Master’s Program in Graphic Engineering and Design and coordinates international CEEPUS collaboration projects.
As a member, Denis supports TAGA’s mission to promote technical innovation and education while directly managing and modernizing its technological infrastructure. He acts as a mentor and coordinator for educational initiatives. In collaboration with GWG and educational institutions, he guides students in creating multilingual educational content—such as animated video series on color management and PDF/X-4 standards—actively connecting the next generation of talents with industry professionals.
Denis serves as the Prepress and Production Processes Manager for a leading printing company in Italy, TAGA Italia. With a solid background as a certified graphic industries technician, he also operates as an independent technical consultant and trainer, specializing in prepress and printing workflows. Denis is deeply committed to technical education and research: he manages his own professional blog and regularly contributes technical articles to Italia Grafica magazine. Furthermore, he is an honorary member of Comunico Italiano and ACSG, and actively participates in roundtables dedicated to graphic technology and PDF standardization.
And of course, our heartfelt thanks go to the students themselves. Their creativity, commitment, and enthusiasm bring these projects to life and remind us why investing in the next generation matters so much.
