General Idea
of Co-Design
Your Place

Involve young people in the regeneration processes of degraded but culturally significant areas by designing, experimenting and prototyping solutions supporting a new quality of social engagement and services.

From 2018 we have organised three editions of Co-design Your Place sprints based on Service Design methodology. We have engaged over 60 designers from all around the world in the regeneration of the Palace-Park Complex in Siemianowice Śląskie, Poland. During 5-days workshops, we have been co-discovering and co-designing with the local community to create a real impact in this meaningful, historical place through innovation and collaboration.

CO-DESIGN YOUR PLACE
SUMMER VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME 2021 HAS BEEN ENDED

It was the 4th time when Co-Design Your Place Summer Volunteer Program gathered young designers. Eight people from different parts of Poland, with various backgrounds, worked voluntarily for three months towards one goal - building the service that will support the regeneration of the Palace-Park Complex in Siemianowice by creating a sustainable community around it.

The brief for the Service Design process was focused on building a sustainable community around the eastern Palace's wing.

The challenging question was how we might organise a community in a place that is not ready to be used? Our answer was CROWDFUNDING.

Who we want to invite?

Young designers and professionals

Young designers and professionals who are looking for an exciting possibility for learning, creating social impact and sharing your knowledge with the local community

Happy learners

People eager to learn, play and experience teamwork, international collaboration and co-creation with the local community in the regeneration context.

People who shared our values

People who share the values such as the beauty of the historical architecture, participation of local communities in the process of the bottom-up change, sharing knowledge and skills and build upon it the new quality of engagement.
