Design Workshop at Include Conference 2015 @ RCA, London

Sept 2015

 

Earlier this month the Lab was invited by the Helen Hamlyn Centre at Royal College of Art, UK to run a workshop at the Include Conference 2015.

 

The 90-min codesign workshop focused on design of our future healing experience, i.e. “Design YOUR Own Healing Experiences”. Participants were asked co-create their healing experiences through design performance: open enquiry by Individual, group common tool creation andco-learning activity. The experiences of healing are personal. It is difficult to develop common solutions for all. They got to be customised to personal needs, they should and could not be universal, or adaptive; but should be unique, getting-into-it type. At the workshop, we used the word “YOUR” in a way that entailed the personal, emotional and subjective experiences.

 

The participants were asked to perform a scenario of healing expeirence for a person with the mix of dementia symptoms and specific personal preference and characters.
