DESIGN SISTÊMICO PARA INOVAÇÃO SOCIAL: A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA OFICINA DE CHÁ PARA IDOSO

Résumé

This article presents a study that sought to apply systemic design methods to establish connections between elderly welfare and productive landscape design. Based on methods and knowledge from the Design, a "Tea Workshop" was developed for seniors lodged in an institution where they stay for long periods of time, consisting of two stages: the first one brought stimuli through tasting various kinds of tea, accompanied by traditional cakes and cookies, music, poetry and joy. In the second stage, they were offered the chance to plant aromatic and medicinal herbs; and the participants could choose seedlings to plant and care for later. This practical action addressed issues related to memory, popular culture, and relational empowerment among the elderly, and got them involved in daily _3296 activities directed to the cultivation and use of the herbs. This workshop was held based on the connections that the systemic design may establish, in this case, between the elderly and the productive landscape design, as a means to improve the well-being of this group. If similar actions are implemented, an applied system may be established capable of generating social innovation.
