Designathon

At the conference we hosted a youth mental health mini-designathon. A designathon is a three-step participatory process that includes preparation with end-users (in this case the youth), intensive collaboration, and some follow-up activities. The purpose of this designathon was to develop ideas on how to improve mental health for youth in Uppsala.

A big thank you to all who took part in our designathon for youth mental health. A special thank you to the youth who came and contributed with very valuable thoughts and perspectives on how it is to be young today and what ideas actually works. We are impressed with all the ideas that came up in this two-hour workshop!

The finalist team was the "The buddy bus!" The buddy bus hosts a ‘trained listener’ and fika - it’s a place for young people in Uppsala to vent about anything! The judges found this idea to be feasible, versatile, and potentially interesting to local stakeholders. Congratulations to team Buddy Bus!
