02. Define the project The following questions are very useful as a starting point for our project. Answering to these questions makes it clearer which kind of project we want to design. 02.01 Which is the local context in which our project is being developed and then realized? Jyvaskyla has loads of students, few big corporations and many smaller companies. 02.02 Which is the community we design with and for this project? Creative class of Jyvaskyla. Hackers, designers etc. 02.03 Which is the problem / opportunity we may find within this community we want to design with/for? People are busy, may not see the point for this to give their time to develop and get it moving. To share mental space, organize events, share ideas and monetize those ideas. Share knowledge and expertise. Share tools/equipment. Potentially join The Hub or create a Fablab in JyvŠskylŠ 02.04 Which is the reason, our motivations, our mission, that move us to design this project with open and p2p dynamics? So that people from JyvŠskylŠ / Central Finland wouldn't need to go away for their creative community of inspiration and ideas. Idea is to involve people to create and design content and activity they wish for. 02.05 How do we see the future of this community? Which is the vision we have that our collaborative process will achieve in the community and for us? Vaajakoski Design School is a community that draws people together on a regular basis to learn and create new things. The results of this activities are seen throughout the region as well as nationally and internationally. Leveraging 'creative capital' for the benefit of the stakeholders as well as JyvŠskylŠ region's image/economy. 02.06 What do we want to change and communicate with this collaborative process? Which are our values and the values of the project that we want to share with the community? Equal opportunity to participate in a project. Collaborate rather than compete. Find people in the community to work on a project that you may never have found from interviewing in a company. To illustrate that you become what you share and with whom.
