Design2Freedom:
Promoting Person-Centred Design applied to disability in higher education
The lack of access of people with disabilities (PwDs) to appropriate support products that meet their specific needs perpetuates the difficulties faced by PwDs in achieving autonomy and participating in society. To transform this, Design2Freedom aims to raise awareness among students to place PWD at the center of the design process, through promoting the cross-cutting incorporation of PWD-Centered Design into university curricula.
This project will create the following intellectual outputs
MOOC Course
Free online 15-hours course addressing topics such as: Social model of disability, Universal accessibility, Design for all, Person-centered design, participatory and inclusive methodologies for teaching.
Toolkit
Group of tools for the teaching of Participatory and Inclusive Design Centered on the Person with Disabilities.
Best Practices Guide
Online guide compiling the concepts, methodologies, pilots, learning and recommendations to be applied to the teaching of participatory and inclusive Person Centered Design for people with disabilities.
Map of existing Experiences
Summary of activities run by the partners applying Person-Centered Design to disability.
These outputs, once consolidated, will be curated and housed within the Design2Freedom Educational Platform. This centralized hub will serve as a repository for educators, social organizations, public entities, and social enterprises alike. By aggregating these resources within the platform, the project endeavors to cultivate a culture of Person-Centered Inclusive Design within the educational landscape. This comprehensive repository will facilitate widespread access to valuable insights, best practices, and innovative solutions. Through the platform, stakeholders across various sectors can engage with and implement inclusive design principles, thereby contributing to the creation of a more inclusive society.
