As part of the INDEX: 2007 events, CIID was asked to run a three week summer camp for more than 30 students who had been invited from all over the world. The aim of the camp was to encourage user-centered design (UCD) and innovation methodologies among future generations of designers. Working in groups on a theme of Global Challenges and Intercultural Dialogue,participants gained understanding of how to identify a problem, how to generate and test concepts, how to rapidly prototype solutions and how to best communicate their final concepts to a relevant audience. Through a ‘bottom up’ approach – using individuals as a starting point – students developed new solutions for issues that will have an impact on people all around the world.
