Workshop Tallinn For All

Tallinn For All

Estonian Association of Designers has stared the innovation project Cities For All to improve the accessibility of the city and make it convenient to use for all age groups and nationalities as well as people with special needs. The purpose of the project is to improve the everyday life quality of both the local population and tourists. 
The universal design platform Design For All is gaining more and more popularity and followers and it will also make it possible to turn Tallinn, the future European Capital of Culture, into a city that is attentive to the present time, human friendly and open to everyone.

The Tallinn For All project aims to:

– make Tallinn a more easily accessible and comfortable travel destination by means of social involvement, preventing discrimination of various citizen groups (the elderly, mothers with small children, disabled people, different ethnic groups and people with different religious beliefs);
– obtain tangible results which would draw the public’s attention to certain problematic aspects of universal design; 
and – introduce the Design For All methodology through practical experience to those participating in the project.

The project will evaluate the compliance of the city’s existing universal design solutions with the expectations of the target group and determine the need for changes or new potential services/products. Based on ten of the most pressing problems a competition will be held to formulate the initial task for designers from different countries. International teams (of 2 to 3 designers) will choose the theme for the project and then start analysing the situation and generating ideas (sketches, prototypes, scenarios) for new solutions in workshops, involving citizen groups with special needs. 
The results of the competition will be announced in 2011 together with the descriptions of specific design solutions (reports and picture material). The proposals will be also introduced at the 2011 Design Night Festival (seminar and exhibition).

The project will be launched in September 2010 with the international seminar Cities For All. Workshops will be organised for designers and supervisors where they will learn about their primary tasks and start working on solutions after carrying out an analysis and communicating with the target group.
