Learning Participatory Design by Participatory Design

During the previous year we have experienced a noteworthy way of learning the techniques of Participatory Design (PD). We will demonstrate how the making of a study group with a supervisor can bring PD-learning from theory to practice during the University-period. The focus has been on learning the PD-techniques by engaging us in an actual developing process, where our prior PD-knowledge was utilized. We will show how this was done, remembering that neither the user nor developer had any practical experience with the use of PD.
