To get young adults with reduced work capacity empowered
Ideation
Building on:
-
Pop-up space
This is an initial idea from students from OPEN LAB. We are still working to bring up new ideas/improving the idea.
We are looking for solutions, for those young people who have a feeling of exclusion from society, are not working or studying and/or looking for meaningful activities.
One of the ideas that emerged from our prototyping process is to create a pop-up space in public spaces where anyone can drop in, have a cup of coffee and be on their own for a moment. They could even chat with the staff and find information available on totems about activities young adults can engage themselves with.
The Inclusive Café
This idea is based on an idea of the open pop-up space acting as a bridge for the young adults to be an active part of society. The open pop-up place could be a café that welcome any citizen, but the café only employs young adults with special needs. This will make the young adults a part of society, getting them work experience, hang out with people like-minded, but at the same time interacting with other groups of society. Hopefully this will get them a purpose and strength to move on.
