Why
Politics of Participatory Design in Greece: how people participate for and through technology: Athens and Greece brings a particularly interesting context in relation to the politics of place and designing in ways that wouldn’t conventionally be understood as PD. As such, this PDC place will focus on non-conventional ways of designing together, especially in relation to technology. Practitioners and communities come together and showcase what PD methods they have employed to design technology that supports social innovation.
Participatory Design and Digital Commons: bridging communities and creating synergies: A small but active community of digital commoners is active all around Greece and networking is crucial for its development. At the same time it is important to bring this community in contact with the innovation introduced in PDC in order to inspire the adoption of new methods and practices. We will explore what PD has to offer for digital commons initiatives to more closely and effectively work together, and how we can create a bridge between PD practitioners and digital commons initiatives.
