Sharing knowledge and co-creating with users
We love to share our knowledge and experiences in the form of lectures and workshops! Using workshops is also a central part of our design method. It’s a way to involve people in almost any process, and a great way to get creative.
Ozma uses workshops as a method to co-create with users and clients in all of our own projects. We also arrange workshops for external clients.
Examples of workshops, courses and lectures:
Course/workshop series on Transmedia Storytelling
The course/workshop series on transmedia storytelling gives an introduction to transmedia, interaction, games and participatory culture. The participants work with developing their own transmedia projects, while getting inspiration and knowledge from workshops and seminars held by designers and script writers within the fields of transmedia, interaction design and games.
Between the occasions the participants use the e-learning platform WeProject to keep up the work with their own projects, submitting assignments and giving each other feedback. As course materials we use “Getting started in Transmedia Storytelling” by Robert Pratten.

They will then be guided through a brain storming session with the aim of coming up with new ideas related to their business, using gamification as a creative tool.
