Abstract
In this chapter, we will examine how a faculty member in the discipline of Textiles and Clothing changed the service activities from the service for the service recipients to the service with the service recipients through a co-design process. University students used to make clothes or dresses for the service recipients, who are people with special needs. Alternatively, the co-design process allowed the service recipients to get involved as a partner in the process of making clothes. The outcomes observed by the faculty member will be reported. Contact theory will be used to explain how the features in the co-design process, say equal status, common goals, intergroup cooperation, and support of authorities, benefited both the students and the people with special needs.
