About Open Minds

Open Minds is a European funded Erasmus+ programme for 18 to 29-year-olds.

It focuses on Design Education for Radical Inclusion and uses an innovative card game methodology for collaborative ideation as well as a specially-designed physical computing toolkit for prototyping in week-long creative innovation labs.

Introduction to Radical Inclusion by the team at ACCAC

Philosophy

Open Minds promotes a design education approach that centres Radical Inclusion. We believe that everyone can and should contribute meaningfully to the grand challenges facing us today, regardless of gender, ethnicity, circumstances or disability. It is not an ‘impairment’ that hinders someone’s full participation in society but rather the disabling environments and infrastructures that create barriers.

Education

250 participants aged 18-30 from 5 countries will participate in the Open Minds programme in 2023. However, the design education programme is open and available for anyone to use. It consists of two main sections: an innovation process guided by a collaborative card game and a prototyping creative innovation lab using a unique physical computing toolkit.
