What We Want To Achieve

To create and trial teaching material for workshops with prisoners in the UK to help them understand their own design potential by employing ‘design thinking’ and participatory design approaches to projects we undertake, or courses we run.

To help inmates:
– understand how to design for someone else
– turn ideas into detailed designs
– co-design and make prototypes
– engage with customer profiling
– gain EPQ qualifications, working in partnership with Open Book
– deliver research insights about the value of creative education to prisoners

To generate new learning approaches (using ‘design thinking’ and ‘participatory design methods’) to engage with inmates in ways that previous education initiatives had not reached.
