Abstract
This article presents ‘Echo’, a student project developed within the
Service Design and Strategic Innovation (SDSI) master programme
in collaboration with the European Movement Latvia. It explores
how we reframed youth civic disengagement as a challenge of
personal relevance and prototyped an AI-assisted tool linking career
aspirations with civic imagination.
