The Service design community celebrates Christmas, New Year.. and.. June 1st! Every year from this year on, the 1st of June will be international Service Design Day, presented by the Service Design Network. We’ll promote the power of service design, celebrate it’s achievements, create awareness and bring people together across nations and multidisciplinary backgrounds.
OBJECTIVE
On June 1, 2016 we will have the first International Service Design Day! This day will create awareness for service design by having small activities that promote the power of service design all over the world. It's fun, easy, flexible and interactive! We invite EVERYBODY to gather on this day and unite our voices for our common interests. Let's enjoy the sense of belonging and celebrate the art of service design!
WHY JUNE 1ST?
Did you know that the word ‘June’ originates from the Latin meaning of ‘young’? Youth doesn't need to be about age as long as the feeling of excitement, energy and activism are present! This day is all about this spirit! We believe that the service design essence will always stay young, therefore we celebrate its eternal youth on the very first day of the youngest month and the summer; JUNE!
It's fun, easy, flexible and interactive! Let's enjoy the sense of belonging and celebrate the art of service design on June 1st!
Wondering what you can do on the day?
Be as open as possible! Do any experimental and creative activity on your own or with people around you to create awareness, celebrate and promote the power of service design! Run for SD, tag your friends, try to explain what service design is in one sentence to the people who have never heard of it... Do it small, Do it big, Do it loud, Do it strong! Anybody can contribute and take part on June 1st!
