Learning outcomes

Knowledge
• use professional concepts consistently and to be capable to discuss and communicate professional issues in interdisciplinary and international group
• take account the nature and urban environment as a resource of health and wellbeing

Skills
• analyze the initial situation and the needs of a client or a business partner
• present alternative solutions and adapt the professional skills to the service design of the work life partner
• choose suitable methods and explain the reasons for these solutions
• Present the results in a written article by collaborating with international student team

Team work
• act with situational awareness
• plan and arrange the activities with the ethical principles of one’s own professional field
• organize interdisciplinary and international team work according to team’s professional goals

Suitable for Bachelor and Master degree students interested in working in international and multidisciplinary teams, which co-design in urban living and wellbeing settings.

Implementation and methods of teaching

Interdisciplinary team work student brings the know-how from own study field and implements it in the case study in international student team using out of the box thinking.
Student learns how to look and do ideation process of design of new service or product from the new perspective.
In the end the teams prepare a presentation of the project results.
This is a perfect way to experience the strength and effectiveness of international, interdisciplinary, and from the first Bachelor year to the last Master year students' teams.
