[Ci4cg-announce] Call for Workshops: PDC 2016 Participatory Design Conference

[Dearden, Andrew M.]

The 2016 Participatory design Conference invites proposals for
 workshops that engage with the conference theme of “PARTICIPATORY
DESIGN IN AN ERA OF PARTICIPATION”. PDC Workshops are unique
opportunities to propose ambitious and bold agendas for the PD
community, crossing disciplinary boundaries and challenging the values,
characteristics, politics and future forms of PD.

 

In line with the main tenets of our community, workshops should support
an interactive format where active participation is encouraged and
should go beyond a presentation format. In the past WS activities have,
for example, included: collaborative mapping of a problem definition,
debate and discussion groups, role playing, games and the creation of
tangible outcomes (e.g. a fanzine). We encourage you to prepare
proposals that will allow interested practitioners and researchers to
spend half a day or a full day working together around shared interests.

 

The workshops will be held on the first two days of the conference
(15^th & 16^th August 2016).


The Participatory Design Conference 2016 will be held in Aarhus, Denmark
from 15th - 18th August 2016 Details from: http://pdc2016.org

4) A description of the proposed format and schedule for the workshop
