Design for Behavioral Change
In Behavioural Change, you will set up and conduct a codesign laboratory together with real life partners in order to rehearse sustainable everyday practices.
The purpose of the course is to address issues of behavioural change as practices that design can affect directly through exposing and altering their values, relationships and material grounding.
The course employs such methods as dialogue tools, collaborative field work, design games and design interventions.$
“Through understanding how to engage people in my project using both the physical and digital world, learning how to give participants a sense of ownership, how to create a community around it, how to raise awareness of an existing problem and provide relevant knowledge, I experienced how significant a designer's role could be in creating behavioral change in the society”
