This culminates in Service Spectacles – The Service Design Graduate Showcase that sees the world in a new light, through three different yet interconnected lenses:
Micro – The importance of personal and interpersonal care
Meso – Actions by and for the community
Macro – Bridging the gaps and creating awareness.

Micro
8th December, 11 – 12.30 UK time, online
Wellbeing today is not just about the absence of disease but a way for people to realise their own aspirations, satisfy their needs, and cope with their environment. The theme, Micro, focuses on envisioning holistic well-being through service design, to improve personal and interpersonal relationships.
The projects in this theme look through the lenses of self-care, safe spaces, trust, understanding, healing, support, and increased knowledge to help empower individuals.
Meso
9th December, 11 – 12.30 UK time, online
Where individuals are limited, community-led action can be powerful and hold a mirror to legacy systems. This theme, Meso, focuses on leveraging the power of communities to create change that is by and for the people. The projects in this theme look through the lenses of empowerment, public innovations, social inclusions, fostering physical spaces, embedding creative mindsets, to strengthen communities and create better connections.
Macro
10th December, 11 – 12.30 UK time, online
The world is increasingly relying on complex systems which alienate and undermine individual and cultural nuances. The theme, Macro, inspires individual actions and collaborations, helping to break away from single stories, and build a bridge of communication between different communities. The projects in this theme use the lenses of awareness, critical coping, participation, and circularity, to leverage the power of large systems for the benefit of the public.
