Participatory Engagement
Research and Design with the community

Lessons Learned• In searching for social interaction opportunities, we
had, inadvertently, created one. We were doing community informatics without knowing, developing a deep trust with the community.
• Research & Design activities became community offerings: the community appropriated them as part of the community activities and this was fundamental for the project to continue
• The community shaped and reshaped the project as it proceeded, and required us to assemble a multidisciplinary team and to develop interdisciplinary skills.

Lessons Learned• A deep trust approach by which researchers/designers
come to be part of the community themselves highlight the promise of CI research that directly benefits communities by building and reinforcing them.
• This kind of project can help to achieve community (i.e., to form, build, and sustain it). Fostering active ageing is one domain to which this is relevant; fostering civic participation may be another.
• The long-term engagement engendered by deep trust projects open doors to other research projects and future collaborations, some independent of the initial researchers.

Questions• Sustainability. How can community-based research and
design become sustainable in time, even after researchers are no longer there?
• Exit from the community. Do you really ever exit the community you have befriended?
• Generalization. How much can grounded theory constructed from these contexts be generalized?
• Participatory Design. How can the experiences of CIRN and PD communities can help each others in supporting more of these projects?
