07/05 - Workshop on participatory design for users with impairments
Are you interested in participatory design for users with impairments? Please join our workshop at the Participatory Design Conference in Roskilde, Denmark in August!
This workshop aims to exchange experiences with participatory design techniques that were designed for, or adapted to people with impairments. Since many of these techniques are highly focused on specific target groups, a further aim is to extract general principles and to generate guidelines for involving users with impairments in the design process.
For more information visit the workshop website, or contact Karin Slegers
We organize this workshop together with IDStudioLab (TU Delft), SMIT (VUB) and Social Spaces Research (MAD-faculty)
