Our experience
Last year we organized international conference and service design workshop "Co-design your P(a)lace". The event became a prototype for the CHANGEmaker program. More information you can find here: https://www.codesignyourpalace.com/
CREATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL SERVICES
We focus on real needs.
That is why we decided to answer the challenge of selected regeneration places which need our support! We will be working with real people, in real places, on real problems, and with real managers or leaders who are responsible for the particular regeneration processes. Each group will implement one solution in Copenhagen, London and Sieminawice Śląskie.
Service design doing
Based on Service Design Methodology you will create and implement solutions designed by people, with people and for people!
Learning by doing
We strongly believe that the best practice is learning by doing - you will certainly not miss this in our program!
