"This session explores how design thinking can make project design more people-centric and interactive."
What would change Iraqi peoples' lives to meet their most pressing individual-level security and justice needs? What could an actionable project prototype look like? Building on the concepts of the introductory video and the experience from the solutions labs, this Live presents how design thinking was used as a methodology, some of the prototypes that were developed by the small groups, and relevant observations for security and justice sector reform programming.
This session offered by DCAF-ISSAT. This session is part of the Fragility Forum 2020 Virtual Series.
