Crisis communication stakeholders in the Meissen district posed this question to a Design Thinking team made up of students from the HPI d-school. This article shows how an idea for a festival brings knowledge, practice, and community to crisis preparedness.
In the Meissen district, flooding, power outages, and supply shortages are real threats. This is precisely where the research project “KRI-KOM – New Approaches to Crisis Communication Design” came in. The HPI d-school was involved as a partner. A team of students developed a concept they called “Krisenfest” (crisis-proof) – an interactive festival that makes crisis preparedness fun, practical, and a shared experience. As part of that, they also presented ideas such as a crisis logbook and stories of encouragement.
