Co-creation Workshop 2 - Concept Development

The second workshop in the SmartAging co-creation series, facilitated by Interesting Times Gang with all consortium partners participating online. Building on the idea pool from Workshop 1, the team shifted from divergent to convergent thinking - clustering and evaluating ideas against criteria of emotional well-being, feasibility in care facility settings and transnational applicability. Albertinen Haus contributed additional insights from a parallel design-thinking workshop with caregivers.  

The session resulted in the consortium agreeing on the "Community Corner" (Social Oasis) concept and articulating its foundational design principles, including biophilic multisensory design, adaptive space, and the fostering of a positive social micro-climate.
