Abstract

The cultural project My Dream World 2 will carry out a workshop and a joint exhibition with Namibian youths. It aims to establish new participatory and empowering service design tools to be utilized by the target group. By using service design tools youths are able to identify, explore, manage and find solutions that support their career paths and coping in a difficult employment and educational situation. It also helps them to find ways to participate in the development of their own community and in the associated discourse through the means of art and design.
