Prosvasi Communities of Experience for Policy Design is a hub for social engagement and a vehicle for experimentation that focuses on policy design, policy integration and democracy. Two key components define PolicyEX: its attention to policy, service, and product innovation, and its focus on co-creation, participation, inclusion, and citizens empowerment for the benefit of business and society. The development and testing of innovative solutions to social challenges is of vital importance to PolicyEX, geared towards the co-creation of policies, and the adaptation of existing public policies so as to follow along the rapid expansion of the technology and service sector. PolicyEX concentrates on developing and testing new technologies, services and products in real-world settings. PolicyEX offers a valuable space for the development of a community of stakeholders, by cultivating a close collaboration among citizens, policy makers, researchers, designers, non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, as well as private enterprises, technology companies, and social entrepreneurs, to co-create, test and evaluate innovative policy ideas and approaches. At the same time, this community of stakeholders is able to address complex social issues and challenges through the participatory policy design model and its focus on
experimentation. By involving the community of stakeholders as end-users in a co-creative policy-making process, PolicyEX ensures that policies are designed to be more effective, relevant, and accepted by society. The added value is that this co-creative process ultimately leads to better policy outcomes, increased public trust and participation, and more sustainable and inclusive policy solutions.
