Non-profit and practical

In PROJEKT CH+ we have set ourselves the following priorities:

Co-Design

Co-design is about incorporating as many different perspectives as possible into a concept. We particularly enjoy implementing this approach in a project with a connection to democracy. Digitalization brings many opportunities but also challenges for our society. These are best mastered together.

Digitalization

A democratic system needs educated, self-reflective people: old, and young – now and in a digitized future. As designers, entertainment media developers, and IT developers, we have a responsibility to use our unique knowledge of technology and psychology to support people in this digitized future.

Intuitive Access

In the CH+ project, we use the same theories you know from Instagram, Tinder, Candy Crush or Cookie Clicker to make political self-education more inviting. Our voting aid presents political information in an interactive, intuitive way.
