Service Design in youth information

9 JUNE, 15.00- 17.00 CET

Topic
Service design

Moderator
Imre Simon, ERYICA

The Service Design or Design Thinking methodology is a best practice approach to designing digital services. The central principle is about keeping people’s needs at its core. The Service Design process is a powerful tool that can be used to support youth workers to both innovate new services or products or to rethink and strengthen existing services.

ERYICA and its partners have been an innovative force in integrating service design into youth information services. Since the launch of the DesYIgn project in 2019, the project has successfully compiled a toolkit and created an eLearning course.

This webinar, conducted in collaboration with the Council of Europe, aims to elaborate on the service design method, discuss its integration and role into youth information services, as well as outline the results of the DesYIgn project. This webinar in particular also serves as the closing event of the DesYIgn project, supported by the Erasmus+ Programme.

There will be an initial keynote speech, followed by a presentation of the DesYIgn project and its results. The panel discussion will elaborate on the results of the DesYIgn project, as well as outline examples of good practice. The event will conclude with an optional networking session.
