Community-based co-design in Okomakuara a contribution to 'design in the wild'

Abstract

Although the wider motivation and principles of Participatory Design (PD) are universal its concepts and techniques are highly contextual. Community-based co-design is a variation of PD, where processes are negotiated within the interaction. Thus this workshop gives participants the opportunity to validate their own conceptualisations, techniques in-situ application against a selected Herero community's evaluation. Besides a day of new impressions and thoughts we intend to record the discussions and present a shortened video at the conference.
