Design Sprint 4 E.T.S.

Young designers meet social enterprises

The book DESIGN FOR SOCIAL. Boosting innovation in social enterprises is available. It recounts the experience of the project Design Sprint 4ETS

The project Design Sprint 4ETS involved three co-design events focusing on social innovation topics. These events took place in different locations and at various times throughout 2023, utilizing the Design Sprint 2.0 methodology. This approach was specifically adapted to work with the social enterprises involved, aligning with their unique objectives and operational capabilities. We explored social innovation, practiced design thinking approaches, and engaged in strategic planning of services and solutions with significant social or environmental impact. The aim was to connect a group of young designers with expertise in Strategic and Service Design with three social enterprises (ETS).
