Overview

This seminar centers around value-orientedness in interaction design for children and young people. It combines lectures with hands-on activities in which attendees will experience how to account for values in participatory design (PD) processes, engaging children as design partners of new technologies. The aim is for students to better conceptualize, understand and establish ways to work more productively with human values in future designs for children and young people.

The attendees will get:

Two lectures on advances in value-oriented PD for children and young adults
A repository of current research papers on values & design
A model for conducting value-oriented PD
Hands-on experience with the most significant stages of the value-oriented PD process
A model for evaluating participatory design processes
