Transition design: A new challenge to service and interaction design education

About this project

<p>The aim of the project is to extend the curriculum of the so-called transition design within the framework of the master's degree program "Information Services Design" at the Department of Information Studies and Librarianship of the Faculty of Arts and at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo. Transition design is a relatively new scientific and practical discipline that has not yet been reflected in the academic environment in the Czech Republic and focuses on the transition to future more sustainable models in complex systems. Within the project, a Transition Design course at Masaryk University and Oslo University will be prepared at the same time. The project also includes good practice mapping and other activities aimed at spreading awareness of transition design.</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

The cooperation between the two teams was crucial ‐ during the project, experience in teaching transition design was transferred from UiO to the Czech university. In addition to the more extensive peer‐learning activities, a number of informal, smaller meetings and peer‐learning sessions were also held throughout the project period, mostly online or in hybrid form.
