About
“Designing spaces and experiences for well-being: bridging psychology and design” is an international Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) that brings together students from design, psychology, neuroscience, and related fields to explore how environments can be intentionally shaped to support human wellbeing.
Working in interdisciplinary and multicultural teams, participants will investigate how public spaces, sensory experiences, and human-environment interactions influence people’s everyday lives. Through fieldwork, community engagement, design methods, and applied research, students will develop and test innovative solutions in real-world contexts.
The programme includes intensive workshop week and online preparatory activities and meetings:
– Online in December, January 2026/2027 – preparatory activities and meetings
– Tallinn, Estonia 25–29 January 2027 – exploring challenges, conducting fieldwork, and developing concepts and initial prototypes.
