2. Service design heroes

How: Who has inspired you in your service design journey and how? Celebrate your heroes on social media by tagging them this #ServiceDesignDay

3. Spread the love

How: Empathy, multicultural insight and collaboration are more important than ever. Share the love and celebrate the fabulous colleagues you work with everyday to make this happen. Take a photo of your team with the Service Design Day heart fingers symbol, and tag all the countries people are from!

4. Celebrate your success stories

How: Share quotes, images and infographics that illustrate the power of service design in practice. Let the world know there is evidence that service design can make a difference and help us raise awareness about this growing field!

5. Practice what you preach

How: We know that our community has achieved great things for their clients. Make sure the world knows you practice what you preach and share a snapshot of your internal service design doings.

6. What is good service design?

How: When you commute to work or go into the office what's your favourite touchpoint? Is it a person or an object and why? Take a snapshot of your favourite touchpoints and let the world know what great service design looks like! It might not be what they expected.

Want to go offline? Host an event:

1. Open Day at your organisation

How: Talk to your university or organisation about hosting an open day to raise awareness about the power of service design in your local community. Open the doors of your organisation on June 1st and give a tour to the public, businesses or special guests. Send them an invite, promote the open day and let people know this is a chance to see what service design can do. It’s a great opportunity to educate and reach new audiences!

2. Host a Business Meet-up

How: Invite local service providers who are new to service design to a 2-3 hour event. Empower them to do service design by sharing your expertise. Attendees can be introduced to service design, shown some key tools such as user journey maps, share their stories and discuss the implementation of service design in their organisation.
