Nov 23 — Participatory Event Planning

This is the summary for week 13 “Participatory Event Planning” of Seminar 3 Advanced Interaction & Service Design Concepts / Design Theory & Practice. The aim of this course is to engage in critical discourses in design and explore and reflect on the implications of designing in the world, the agency of designed artifacts, and their effects not only in human systems but also in environmental ones.

We are currently covering the third module of our course called Research x Design. As a culmination of the course and this third module, students will host as participatory event where they will design and facilitate a series of activities to showcase concepts, methodologies, and approaches discussed in this class throughout the semester.

In the class, the students worked out the logistics of the event, shared and discussed about the different activities that the event will include, and dedicated part of the class time to finalize the planning, materials, and guides involved in those. The image feature here is a screenshot of the work-in-progress website that contains the invitation to the event and will have documentation once it happens.
