Il 3 marzo 2015 si svolgerà a Helsinki un corso di Design per il Governo. Il corso, offerto dalla Aalto University, vuole presentare a tutti coloro che lavorano nel Governo e nella pubblica amministrazione le varie possibilità di utilizzo del design nel settore pubblico per rendere le città più efficienti, funzionali e vivibili.
Oltre alla sezione teorica, i partecipanti del corso dovranno seguire, nella prossima primavera, anche una parte pratica all’interno del Ministero delle Politiche Agricole e Forestali. Il corso è rivolto a funzionari pubblici, professionisti ed educatori con l’intento di contribuire, attraverso uno scambio di opinioni, a migliorare l’utilizzo del design in Finlandia.
Questo corso dovrebbe essere un esempio anche per altri Paesi, come l’Italia, che più di tanti altri necessita di una forte sensibilizzazione delle Pubbliche Amministrazioni per comprendere quanto un buon utilizzo del design possa rendere le città in cui viviamo migliori.

ORGANISERS
Design for Government (DfG) is a course and research project.
Started as a 10-ECTS advanced studio course under Aalto Creative Sustainability master’s programme, Design for Government explores the potential utility of design in the solving complex challenges of the government and public sector. With emphasis on systems approach, empathic design and behavioural insight, we worked with the Ministry of Environment in 2014, and are working with the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in 2015.
In the summer of 2014, DfG has joined to participate in applying for a research call with the Nordic think tank, Demos Helsinki, and its partner, Avanto Helsinki. The research project with the same name, Design for Government, is commissioned by the Prime Minister’s office. The aim is to propose how behavioural insight, prototyping culture and evidence-based policy approaches can be best operationalised in Finnish government. The project is being carried out in two parts: a global benchmark of best practices interviewing both gloabl leaders in the development and key Finnish stakeholders; an experimentation in DfG course with concrete challenges faced with current Finnish government.
