Co-creation in action - movement research meets design thinking

On March 27, 2025, we were able to be part of the fourth workshop as part of the BewegungsForscher citizen science project - and it was a great pleasure!
In the inspiring rooms of 42kaiserslautern, we held a design thinking workshop together with citizens, those affected and researchers. The aim: to develop smart and everyday ideas for foot lifting orthoses - together, creatively, user-centered.
In the phases 𝘐𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘨, 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 and 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯, four promising solutions emerged that will now enrich the further development of the project. We were particularly impressed by the open dialog between experience, expertise and commitment - this is exactly how we imagine innovation in practice.
A big thank you to all participants and the BewegungsForscher team for the great collaboration!
