Discussion on Annelien Groten thesis: aid, empowerment and resistance amongst Fisherfolk in Gaza

Lecturers: Ole Edward Wattne (here) and Brita Fladvad Nielsen (here)

Combining methods from service design, interaction design, human centred design and scenario building, Nielsen and Wattne will guide the students through an interactive class to understand how designers think and do in action. Based on each students background we will create scenarios and interventions for how to better survive an immediate crisis. The students will learn to build personas, in which a persons characteristics including age, gender, personal and professional experiences, disabilities etc. will be described and taken as a starting point. Secondly they will learn to analyse how the technological possibilities in a smart phone can be of use in a crisis. Third, they will learn to describe through empathy mapping what an individual might think, see, hear and do in a given situation with the purpose of defining a solution space for an intervention.
