The challenge

At the initiative of the City of Eindhoven, the Red Bluejay Foundation launched a new Design Challenge around people with a distance to the labour market. We challenge designers, thinkers and do’ers to come up with new solutions to organize work in such a way that more people have a chance to participate. This can be in the form of “social design”, an instrument, an app or a methodology.

The project

The Social Seat: imagine that there are special places within companies in the Brainportregion, where people with autism like Tess, can take a seat to decrease her distance to the job market. Just an environment where she gets opportunities and support, fitting in her day-to-day routine.

Tess has great focus in her day to day work
Tess works with great accuracy
Tess can really dig into work, creating tremendous productivity
Tess works SMART: Systematically, Mathematical, Accurate, Repetitive and Truthfully

The bright moment

A great idea was pitched to the Employager organisation and they where impressed with the amount of work we have done in this short amount of time. Allas, we can not win every time, we did not make the Finals, however for us that was never the goal.
