In this paper, we present the EU funded DEVICE project aiming to investigate methods and established practices for how to design for vulnerable generations, children and elderly, and especially how to teach designers how to design for this user group. The project intends to modernize and develop educational programs with a specific focus on vulnerable generations. In this position paper we summarize some findings from pre-studies, present future aims and workshop contribution.
