(Social) service design: the good, the bad and the ugly
As part of the Fire Starter Festival 2019 we're running a workshop on service design.
We are curious about how people interpret their roles within a project or design process, and how this impacts on their approach to design. What does it mean to wear your designer hat? How does this impact on power dynamics and inclusion? How do we embrace our own strengths and skills in a co-production process?

Exploring co-design tools
At Iriss, we’re often asked about what’s worked and what hasn’t in our projects. On October 3rd, we hosted an event to share the learning from two co-design projects that we’ve run recently - one with older people and practitioners who worked together to improve the pathway from hospital to home; and the other with people who access, or may in the future access, self-directed support (SDS) and practitioners - Pilotlight.
