Interdisciplinary Studies Journal. Special Issue on Encounters15 Conference. Unexpected Encounters - Senses and Touching in Services and Care. Vol. 4, No 1, 2015
Little did we know when the fourth Encounters Conference planning started in December 2013 that the topic Unexpected would play such a vivid role, both in the content and the process of production. Nor were we able to see how far and widely the glow of the conference would reach. From the early beginning we were feeling unexpectedly lucky in many senses. We were thrilled with the topic containing service design scrambling it around different fields of healthcare, business and tourism. Also how everyone we discussed about it, was eager to tag along. We were fortunate to land all the keynote speakers and theme conveners we were wishing to get aboard on Unexpected Encounters – Senses and Touching in Services and Care. The four final themes were Service Design, Caring and Touch - Human Body in Health and Wellness, Integrating Education and RDI for Empowered Wellness and Lifestyle, and Movement and Art in Services and Care.
