Design Culture in school. Experiences of design workshops with children
This paper discusses the social and cultural roots of the emerging need for project-based didactic approaches within education systems, showing the advantages of the adoption of design tools and specifically of the Service Design Thinking method. These are presented in relation to extant literature in the pedagogic field, giving an overview of the domains within which Service Design Thinking can be beneficial. A series of workshops carried out with children are then presented, highlighting the most relevant findings that have been gathered from them and discussing their methodological potential toward an implementation of design education in primary schools.
