About this Event

Co-Designing the Future of Health: An Introductory Workshop to Service Design


Join us for a hands-on, future-focused workshop where we’ll use anthropology and service design to reimagine health in Edinburgh. No experience needed, just bring your curiosity and ideas!

Together, we will think about what “health” could look like in 2036, using service design methods informed by anthropological thinking. You will work in small groups to design a human-centered health service or intervention for a particular "persona" and will present a short “pitch” to share your ideas at the end.

Along the way, we will explore how culture, community, and technology shape health, and why anthropology can help to design kinder, smarter, and more inclusive systems.
