We have been awarded the DOGA Innovation Prize for Inclusive Design under category Service Design! Design and Architecture Norway - DOGA The winning project, The Bridging Service—A holistic solution to address Grünerløkka’s youth dropouts, was the result of a fantastic collaboration with Grünerløkka district (Oslo Kommune, Bydel Grünerløkka), the Agency of Education in Oslo (Utdanningsetaten), Designit and Menon Economics. Grünerløkka, with its 62,500 inhabitants, is Oslo’s most populous district. It is also the district with the highest social contrasts in the city. In recent years, Grünerløkka district and the Agency of Education are registering a high drop-out rate between middle school and upper secondary school among the district’s youth. Reasons for dropping out are many and complex, and there’s no single root cause to point at and solve. Without completed upper secondary education, it can be more difficult to enter the job market, which can further cause people to fall between the cracks through to adulthood. The team approached the challenge holistically, with a strong Do No Harm and Inclusive Design lens, by building on research insights and continuous co-creation and user testing with teachers, district employees and youth. We collaborated with with Menon Economics, Grünerløkka district and the Agency of Education to design measures that support young people in this vulnerable period.The result of this process was a service centred around a new role, the Bridging Guide. These guides work closely with young people, parents and other relevant actors, such as teachers and advisors. The project acted as a bridge between the district and schools, building on existing services and offerings, resulting in a new service that supports students graduating. To this day, the Bridging Service has supported 75 youth, with 73 of them still in educational programs. 97% of youth supported are still in education in after one and two years. Congratulations to the whole team!
