Summer Term 2018: who we collaborated with

Summer Term has been long, and busy!

The Future of Government 2030+

This project came to a close this term. Students worked in partnership with the EU JRC Policy Lab, UAL Public Collaboration Lab, and Camden Council, to create seven proposals grounded on a future scenario and propose either a future model of ‘open democracy’ or future models of service delivery, applied to meeting Camden’s aspirations for the future.

Developing Strength-Based Screening Tools for Lambeth Adult Social Care

The students worked on the brief in Term 2 as part of their Collaborative Project Unit. We were then funded by the HEIF Local Partnership Fund to create an exhibition and workshop at Lambeth Town Hall in Term 3.

Students from MA SEDI organised a workshop with Lambeth Council officers and service providers, as well as charities working locally in this space, and presented their work on the project and engaged the officers and service providers in extensive feedback about their work. In addition they worked with the participants with Service Design methods.
See our video below.

Major Projects

Students have been finishing their Individual Concept Development Major Project proposals, and starting on their Major Projects. Students are working on a variety of topics, driven by their own interests or in collaboration with research projects within LCC (for example with Pharma Factory) or with outside organisations (for example the Digital Catapult).

Korea SADI Workshop

Nine MA SEDI students participated in the 10th Service Design Workshop in Korea for a week in partnership with the SADI (Samsung Art and Design Institute), the Seoul Upcycling Plaza, and supported by the Seoul Design Foundation. Read more about it below.
