In a launch event held on Monday the 7th of July at the Palace of Westminster, the AHRC-funded Protopolicy project, presented the Design Fictions that emerged through the co-design workshops at Lancaster and Falmouth. The Design Fictions were well received and generated discussions on the benefits and challenges of using Design Fictions for policymaking.
The research team engaged in discussions with civil servants, politician and other design professionals on the use of Design Fictions for as co-design tool with community groups (interested in ageing, loneliness and social exclusion) to increase their engagement with policymakers.
The event was organised by the ProtoPolicy partner APDIG.
