Hotel Transit and Dugnad, a Design Thinking method

Tandem Methods-in-action: Dugnad - a Design Thinking exercise

Tandem Europe is an initiative of European Cultural Foundation and MitOst e.V. Throughout the Tandem programme there are lots of methods and exercises to shape the Tandem collaboration and design the pilot project. Citizens For Europe was in charge of documenting the Tandem Europe programme 2015-2017 and developed the series ‘Methods-in-action’ that shows how Tandem participants use the methods and how it supported their partnership.

In this episode, we discover the Tandem project "Hotel Transit-Homes on the move" that creates a new open-source model building on the resilience of urban communities on the move, while serving as powerful tool to influence advocacy by“humanizing” and “empathizing” policies and decision-making processes directed at migrants and people in transit. Matina Magkou (Ohi Pezoume NPO - UrbanDig Project, Athens) and Yanina Taneva (Ideas Factory Association, Sofia) tell us how the Tandem method Dugnad was appropriate for their work.
