What does it mean to be young?
Investigating the lived experiences of young people in Eindhoven
What does it mean to be young? What makes young people find their way in life and how can the city of Eindhoven contribute to that?
In order to understand what it takes for young people to stand on their own feet and grow up to be part of society, the city of Eindhoven aimed to better understand the lived experiences of young people. They approached cocosmos, a (social) design-research studio in Eindhoven, to help them uncover the needs and desires of the youth.
​
As part of the cocosmos team, I helped to explore different ways of approaching young people on the topic of growing up and becoming independent. I designed an interactive installation which affords youths to talk about their experiences of growing up in Eindhoven.
