Funder: Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education (KA220-HED)

Aim / Content

The project involves the creation and development of a web-based, English-language study module titled Service Design for Wellness and Healthy Ageing”, focusing on the design and adaptation of services related to wellbeing and healthy ageing.

The module consists of four courses and is delivered in English. Each course carries a workload of 5 ECTS credits. The module is primarily intended for master’s level study; however, both the individual courses and the full module can also be adapted for continuing professional education.

The underlying idea is to develop a study module that focuses on the design of wellbeing and health services for the 50+ age group, taking into account the personal characteristics, specific traits, preferences, and needs of middle-aged and older adults.

Course themes:

  • Course 1 – Envisioning the Healthy Future (Design Management and Wellness Theories)
  • Course 2 – Service Design (in Ageing Society)
  • Course 3 – Design Anthropology (with a specific focus on the 50+ age group)
  • Course 4 – Business Models and Design Management in the Service Sector
