Toteutustapa

This implementation consists of two separate parts. The first part (Theory section) is a prerequisite for the second part (Project section).

The Theory part (online) runs through 27.8.-30.9. and needs to be completed before taking the Project. Theory includes learning of service design process (Double Diamond), methods and tools independently in Canvas working space. Theory part starts with a one-hour info session on Zoom on 27.8. at 16-17.

The Project starts with a kick-off on 8.10.2024. Project part runs through 8.10.-3.12.2024. Contact sessions are held on zoom. During the project teams will carry out a service design project based on a real-life design challenge. Between the Zoom-meetings teams work in the virtual learning environment Canvas.

Taking part in the contact sessions in Zoom is crucial as we work in teams and use co-creation methods during the sessions. Between the contact sessions teams will work according to their own agreement, following the service design process.
