Description

From workshop to toolkit: Co-designing youth service with young adults

In studying one of the Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres, it is found that most of the activity planning for young adult is employing a top-down approach. Such mode of planning may lead to youth programmes that may not fulfill the needs or interests of the young clients; this will further lead to the lack of participation, engagement and interaction towards the services provided. This project attempts a remedy: to engage young adults early in the planning stage of youth services. By employing different facilitation methods, a series of co-design workshops were organised to better understand the core needs and concerns of the young clients. By consolidating and analyzing the observations and findings from the co-design workshops, a toolkit for co-planning activity has been developed. This may help to break regular assumptions and practices of the service providers and the service users.

以一間綜合青少年服務中心為案例，現時大部份青少年中心都是「由上而下」地策劃活動，這導致活動因未能滿足青少年的興趣和要求而難以招募參加者。「共創工作坊」正好讓青少年共同參與策劃的過程，構思活動；工作坊會運用不同手法，打破以往策劃活動的成見，嘗試了解用家的真正需要－例如，透過活動獲得「開心」並非青少年的首要期望。透過整理和分析三個共創工作坊的觀察及發現，本習作試圖提供一套「活動設計工具」，讓服務提供者與青少年進行活動策劃的合作。
