ABSTRACT
The main goal of the workshop is to ideate different possible service solutions to a Namibian reading culture challenge collaboratively with academics, designers, local stakeholders and children. This workshop allows participants to engage themselves in service prototyping, making use of the SINCO service prototyping approach. The main idea of a service prototype is to concretize ideas and communicate quickly and inexpensively a service proposition for different stakeholders. At its best a service prototype is at the same time a tool for learning, communication and change management.
Participants can learn by doing how service prototyping takes form and suits to solving local challenges which are by nature networked and touch many different stakeholders. Participants can come to this workshop with their children. The outcome of the workshop will be a service prototype which will be shared with the wider PDC community.
