Decentralization & Diversity

By doing this activity, we encourage designers to go out of their bubbles. Through doing the small crafts together with strangers and get the chance to talk with people who are not in their social circle, we hope designers could get the chance to reach and respect the diversity of their surrounding/society.

"A further implication of the group approach in Participatory Research is the inevitably more superficial personal relationship between researcher and participants. This type of relationship does not allow for emotional intimacy which, feminists believe, could enhance the quality of information as a result of mutual disclosure."
