Last week 11 CMD students at the applied university of Amsterdam joined in a tear down workshop in collaboration with useITsmartly. First they tore down different IT devices and household appliances to subsequently incorporate the pieces into a collage. Then using future narratives and life cycle diagramming to start a campaign with which they made their peers aware of the consequences for the environment when using IT. The amazing results of this week; campaigns, videos and photos can be seen on the website of useITsmartly, Facebook, YouTube and twitter #useITsmartly.
Have fun watching!
UseITSmartly “is a current project funded by IEE (‘Intelligent Energy – Europe’) aiming at capacity building towards behavioural changes in the way youths use technology. The project wants to close this gap by developing innovative solutions for capacity building in young people towards smart IT use and ideas on how to reach them with this topic.” (www.useITsmartly.com) The Dutch representation of useITsmartly is Duneworks from Eindhoven.
