What role can Service Design play in Nature based Solutions? A student reflection workshop
On the 28th of June, the Nature’s way research team hosted a digital workshop with students from MA Service Design, reflecting on their group projects that explored how to help people better connect with nature.
As part of our larger research project, first year students were given a brief in January to develop projects that aimed to use service design and human-centred approaches to innovate place-based services as options for social green prescribing, supporting people and communities to rebuild relationships with nature for better health and wellbeing in a post-COVID world. Over the last two terms, the students explored a diverse range of societal issues that could be addressed by a better connection to nature, such as prenatal depression and loneliness, developing thoughtful services and interventions.
