This project wasn’t a typical Erasmus Plus Youth Exchange or Training Course – it was selected and funded by the Luxembourgian National Agency to improve the knowledge and competences of those who organize E+ projects. Piotr Gawe\u0142 and Magdalena Jakubowska from Art Square Lab<\/span><\/a> proposed the use of Design Thinking to project the sustainable future and I as a representative of The Dialogue Supporting Foundation „Let’s Talk” (Fundacja Wspierania Dialogu „Rozmawiajmy”<\/span><\/a>) <\/span>took part in it (see the post on Facebook<\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were working on the five-stage-model of DT including following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empathize<\/strong> (being „in some else’s shoes”) – trying to look on some issue from the perspective of our target group, also by the means of interviews and discussions<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define<\/strong> – summarising our ideas and defining what kind of problems\/ challenges our target group is facing and what may they need<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideate<\/strong> – brainstorming ideas how to help them to solve these problems\/ challenges<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prototype<\/strong> – creating solutions in a way of easy (not fully prepared) prototype with the use of various tools like storyboard, LEGO bricks, collage<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Test<\/strong> – verifying our prototype basing on feedback from our target group, evaluating and improving it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our task was to „design” sustainable future for youth. In the fourth stage of DT some participants with artistic talent (not me \ud83d\ude09 ) were creating a storyboard, the others were able to make a scene with Lego bricks. To test our prototype we went to the train station in Esch-sur-Alzette (close to our hostel) so that we could present it to youngsters, explain our ideas as find out if they find it useful and probable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
