Participatory design allows for designing speculative futures through a collaborative approach. This paper explores how a human rights defense non-governmental organization and a group of designers could explore speculative futures collaboratively. It also reflects on how prototypes of these futures help the organization face potential changes in the country\u2019s social model to make an impact on the defense of human rights during the next ten years. This case study presents how the use of participatory design and speculative design can allow NGOs to explore the futures, identify the opportunities and challenges they offer, and co-design a roadmap to act accordingly.<\/p>\n

Participatory construction of futures for the defense of human rights. In Proceedings of the 16th Participatory Design Conference 2020- Participation(s) Otherwise – Vol. 2 (PDC \u201920: Vol. 2), June 15\u201320, 2020, Manizales, Colombia.

Main commitments include: offering alternative technologies, rendering design processes democratic, open and accessible to wide participation, and amenable to critical scrutiny and mutual learning. By proposing the theme of Participation(s) otherwise, we want to invite the PD community to think further on the diverse meanings and ontologies that participation and design can take on. Let\u2019s open up the understanding of \u201cparticipation\u201d beyond modernist narratives and theoretically \u201cuniversal\u201d cookie cutter solutions and account for diverse practices.<\/p>\n Read more about the journal PDC20VOL2-32<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and\u00a0here<\/span><\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n Javier Ricardo Mejia Sarmiento<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paula Astrid Mendez Gonzalez, Sof\u00eda Casta\u00f1eda Mosquera, Mar\u00eda Paula Bernal Tinjaca, Ricardo Mej\u00eda Sarmiento, Roberto Alejandro Morales Rubio, Juan Camilo…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[82,41],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3845"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3845"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3845\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3849,"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3845\/revisions\/3849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jrms.pktweb.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Participatory Design Conference 2020: Participation(s) otherwise<\/h3>\n
