About the Design School
Part of: Promise Design School
The Promise Design School works in a range of different ways to support change.
- It supports the workforce to lead co-design, and
- It helps people in projects and places figure things out together.
It is always about helping people to share influence and decisions so that they can work better together to create services that work well.
The Promise Scotland worked closely with the Scottish Government's Office of the Chief Designer to initiate the design school, and now it works with those leading the change to develop it.
Sprints
The sprints are a component of the design school programme that is open all year round, aimed at supporting people in the workforce who are tasked with leading co-design in their area of work.
The digital sessions, usually taking place over two or three days, will walk you through foundational concepts in service design and work with you in your teams to apply these tools to the work you are undertaking together.
- Gather a team together of people you are working with - or want to work with - to co -design a change towards keeping the promise.
- Take part in the sprint.
- Tailor your learning and next steps with access to downloadable tools, design mentors and bitesize digital learning.
