Global Service Jam: 205 Socially Responsible Services in 22 hours

By Ann Danylkiw

Last weekend, over 1500 service designers and ingenues came together in 59 cities around the world to develop new public service models in 22 hours (30 if they stayed up all night). The Global Service Jam 2011 was the first of its kind, the biggest chapter in London. The participants were guided by mentors, old service design hands and other media and design related professionals.

The London jam took place in two locations. The film below explains the significance of the jam and highlights five of the ten final London projects.

All the service design pitches were uploaded to the GSJ11 website.

Ann Danylkiw is a freelance writer and digital media producer. Her background is Finance and Development Economics.
