PDC Workshop - Migration of a sharing platform from Copenhagen to Aarhus – a live exploration of how social innovations may travel

Welcome to this hands-on workshop where we explore how social innovations may travel between sites. We invite you to help us with a live case, where we explore how a digital platform for exchange within senior citizen communities can be migrated from Copenhagen to Aarhus. The platform has been developed in the ongoing EU-project Give&Take (http://www.givetake.eu), funded under the EU’s AAL programme (2014-2017) with partners from Denmark, Austria and Portugal. In the project we explore the potential of exchanging non-monetary services among senior citizens in a municipality within Copenhagen and in local senior communities in Vienna.

In this PDC workshop, participants from the Give&Take project include the following: project researchers from Copenhagen and Vienna, the project manager from the IT company developing the platform, and a representative from Frederiksberg municipality, which is one of the sites where the platform is used today will participate. From the Aarhus side, representatives from the city of Aarhus will participate as local stakeholders. Together with these participants, we invite you to be part of a one-day ‘designathon’ to explore the challenges and opportunities of appropriating this digital platform as a social innovation to the local setting of Aarhus. We hope participants will leave with concrete experiences from an exploration of how a particular social innovation may ‘travel’; involving real stakeholders in co-design of solutions to the challenges at hand.

To participate, please submit a 1 page (max) statement (of visuals/text or other media equivalent) to PDsocialinnovationsWS@gmail.com. Your statement should include information on: a) why you are interested in community oriented PD work; and b) a specific example of how an idea / innovation travelled from one setting to another.
