Codesign
The contribution from Apricus in the Youth transition academy is codesign as a way to empower the youths by tangibly giving them influence in the design process and including them in the cobuilding process afterwards. The idea is to gradually increase the degree of difficulty, complexity and size of what is being designed and built. We start by designing and building a small kiosk, continue with a sheep house, then a house for horses and in the last year a house for youths.
