We are a diverse group of learners, thinkers and doers that shape tomorrow’s society through digital technology, using human-centered design approaches. We think big, start small and are explicitly open, placing our findings at the world’s disposal. We believe that our digitally fueled future can -and should- be inclusive, intelligent and involve us all. We invite students and professionals from creative industries to join us on our mission. A traineeship at the DSS will open up a world of opportunities.
Details
During the 20 weeks that you are at Digital Society School you will work on a project supplied by one of partners. These projects are clustered around themed Tracks: ‘Systems for Sharing’, 'Edtech for Social Justice' and ‘Design Across Cultures’. At the end you will present an prototype solution to the challenge posed. In addition you will participate in workshops, masterclasses and personal coaching to get you ready for the next step in your career.
Challenges that you will face include translating the wishes of our parter to a concrete end result that not only caters to what they want but ideally delivers what they need. Managing the workflow in an autonomous team with very diverse backgrounds. And coping with unforseeable circumstances.
