Towards Participatory Design Facilitation as Reflective Practice

Authors Info & Claims
Published:08 October 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

Facilitators of participatory design activities have a large impact on the form of participation and the output of such activities. Yet, the facilitator role and role-related practices have not yet been thoroughly problematized in human–computer interaction and participatory design literature. With the goal of exploring different perspectives on the facilitator role and ways to support reflective facilitation practice, we propose a workshop intended to strengthen the community of researchers and practitioners interested in participatory design facilitation as a methodological challenge. In particular, the workshop seeks to explore ways by which a reflective facilitation practice can be supported.
