Ponto JA Network

CHALLENGE
The Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth, I.P. (IPDJ) turned to LabX to support the process of redesigning and revitalizing the Ponto JA Network, an IPDJ public service network, with alternative service models and services that can meet the needs and motivation of young people and the offer of services that can be made available in these spaces.

BENEFICIARIES
The final beneficiaries of this project are young people, users of the Ponto JA spaces, youth associations that are based in these spaces and the employees who perform their duties here.

APPROACH
The starting point of the project was an exercise “Theory of Change” carried out by the project team. Based on the results obtained, a research plan was envisaged that included listening to young people and technicians and managers of the IPDJ. An online questionnaire survey was conducted for young people, which obtained 1520 participations; for technicians and directors of the IPDJ, ethnographic interviews were conducted, with the 5 Regional Directors of the IPDJ and 3 Information Technicians being interviewed. The results of this investigation were compiled into user stories that supported the co-creation processes. In parallel, training was carried out,
in Service Design, from a group of 25 technicians and IPDJ leaders, which resulted in experimental proposals to be validated on the ground by the project team.
