YSI Preconference workshops on Co-creation

The unique feature of the YSI conference is the Pre-conference workshop, where participants are facilitated to define their problem statement, design their Innovative solution to solve their problems and build a prototype for a 4 week project, which can be tested in their context. Based on this, they prepare a reflective practice paper for the conference.
