description:

The Design Thinking approach was applied by Youth4OSH (and Safe Youth@Work) to support the empowerment of youth champions to raise public awareness on OSH for young workers and young employers. Both the Youth4OSH project and the Safe Youth@Work Project benefited from the Design Thinking approach introduced by the external communications consultants as part of the coaching process for youth champions at the XXI World Congress on Safety and Health at Work, Singapore in September, 2017. Design thinking is a group problem solving approach that enables participants to brainstorm problems and come up with innovative and practical solutions. At the Youth Congress, conducted as part of the XXI World Congress, youth delegates designed and presented several prototype solutions to address occupational safety and health issues. Examples included: A computer-based OSH learning tool called OSH Learning App, for young workers and employers in the Philippines. ;The “safe ride” mobile outreach model to raise OSH awareness in Indonesia; a lesson plan for teaching OSH to young students – subsequently presented at the Young Educators Conference January 2018 During and following the Congress, the youth participants were coached in how to apply Design Thinking in group processes, known as “Safe Jams,” where various groups such as enterprises or youth groups can develop solutions for their workplaces. One of the Philippines youth champions developed a board game to raise awareness among young workers, called “OSHnoloply”. It was refined with the assistance of ILO consultants, and reproduced in English, Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesia for use with young workers in the four target countries.
