During my graduation project, I was asked to explore if and how Social Contagion Theory can speed up the energy transition in Dutch municipalities. Specifically, how it could benefit the Wijkkompas tool.

Contagion Theory
Social contagion theory teaches us that information and behavior can be transmitted in a socialnetwork:
- Information: We tell eachother the soccer game score.
- Behavior: We join the ice bucket challenge.
- Behavior: We join the ice bucket challenge.
These two types of information have a unique way of traveling through the network and thus require different approaches. My gradution project focussed on explaining these concept to benefit the Energy trantiostion.
My design ''De Lopend vuurtje box'' explains the principles of social contagion through experience and experiment.
