This paper explores how transdisciplinary design approaches can contribute to peacebuilding. Ways of decolonising workshops create trust and ensure sensitizing, dialogic meaningful experiences for participants, enable them envision interethnic intercultural forms being becoming, are discussed. The participants were indigenous peoples, Afrodescendants, peasants excombatants living in northern Cauca, Colombia, an area prioritized Challenges faced included: integrating written oral...

One of the enduring problems researching and designing digital technologies for home is that both media uses tend to be dispersed spatially temporally throughout environment routines home. This raises a number methodologically challenging issues: how are situated amongst other technologies; materialities textures shape experience home; ways in which practices use entangled with activities part content communications create wider ecology communication interaction environments. In this...
In order to tackle complex sustainability challenges, top-down one-size-fits-all services and strategies do not always effectively address the diverse needs of local communities. It is increasingly recognised that multi-disciplinary stakeholders need draw on their locally situated knowledge cooperate towards achieving a social aim. With this in mind, moving beyond designer's 'parachuting' into projects grow or develop, paper explores how service designer can contribute activate meaningful...
Increasingly, design is being forced to re-examine the role it plays in happiness of people and sustainability society. This paper proposes 'Design for Happiness' Framework as an approach address this illustrated through a study. The methods, process characteristics products services capable contributing positive holistic way these issues are discussed. findings demonstrate that framework encourages reinterpretation relationship between products, services, users; approaching from new...
This paper presents a method for future-building based on the journey we undertook as Design and Arts researchers in POR EL Páramo project (2021–2022) our aim to bring closer different actors involved Paramos (high Andean moorlands Boyacá region, Colombia). We did this by understanding their everyday life better, co-designing potential pathways towards holistic sustainable futures that serve various communities' needs. Through series of social innovation workshops, applied transdisciplinary...
This paper proposes a novel political pedagogic approach to conducting engaged research. Drawing critically on elements of Participatory Action Research and popular education, this - Engaged Pedagogic (EPR) generates processes collective co-learning empowerment for local communities activist researchers. Central EPR are five processes: generating situated learning practices, recognizing alternative knowledges, engaging in inter-cultural inter-ethnic dialogue, deconstructing power relations,...
Outcomes, which are the result state or condition from a process intervention, essential elements of healthcare system design and an important indicator performance. They included in well-known analysis frameworks such as Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA). However, fewer practical approaches exist understanding communicating interactions among outcomes. This study applies novel mapping method approach to collect, aggregate visualise...
Home can influence our happiness through the activities it affords. Furthermore, previous research has indicated commonalities between happy, and sustainable societies but many of current home practices are unsustainable. This aims to explore design for as a means future sustainable, happier domestic lifestyles. paper discusses first study in which photo elicitation method was used with home-owning families locate triggers. elicited photography two representative days participants’ life....
The current economic crisis is building momentum for designers to challenge the linear take-make-waste model and explore sustainable strategies, services systems. With this in mind, research explores how service design can encourage textile artisans' communities towards a future, providing social engagement, rescuing cultural heritage, boosting development enhancing environmental stewardship. Service here proposed as an approach empower such communities, co-design collaborative sustain...

Healthcare needs to be delivered more holistically, in a way that addresses outcomes for different stakeholders at levels. Systems thinking has conceptually helped the understanding of increasing complexity healthcare outcomes. However, little consideration been given on how practically apply this concept holistic outcome (re)design systems. Therefore, paper aims develop and evaluate outcome-based approach systems co-creation. Participatory mapping workshops interviews co-visualise as an...
