All th= ree workshops are free. Each is limited to 20 participants. We invite resea= rchers and research students who may be in the Melbourne area to join us. = =20 The workshops will take place on Monday, 16 January, Tuesday, 17 January, a= nd Thursday, 19 January. The Monday workshop covers video field studies usi= ng the cell phone. The Tuesday workshop focuses on idea brokering as a work= shop technique for innovation. The Thursday workshop is titled "Learning by= Toying," an experiential workshop relating design, culture, and education. Because workshops are limited to twenty participants, we ask that those who= plan to attend register. To register, please contact Brett McIvor at <bmci= [email protected]> Best wishes for the New Year.

This is= due to the power of the media for capturing practices and contexts, convey= ing empathy, and engaging audiences. Newcomers to the field, and in particu= lar practitioners from smaller organizations are understandably nervous abo= ut embarking on video projects out of fear that it is difficult to get cons= ent in the first place, that the ethics is difficult to handle, that video = shooting makes the social relations awkward, that the editing task is monum= ental, that equipment is difficult to handle etc. This workshop presents a lightweight entry into video field studies using y= our cell phone and simple computer editing. Jacob Buur's approach has a str= ong focus on how to use video in design, rather than on the technical side.= The goal is to engage design teams in meaningful discussions based on user= empathy, rather than to produce beautiful videos. Basically it is a search= for a minimalist way of achieving what usually requires trained shooting a= nd editing with larger equipment.

Research Direc= tor, Innovation Laboratory, Hakuhodo Inc. The Earthquake and tsunami that took place on March 11th has taken away tho= usands of lives on that day in Tohoku Region of Japan. Media since then has= covered the disaster and the consequent Fukushima nuclear accident, howeve= r, has done so little apart from confusing people with rich yet cryptic dat= a of little relevance. Yet one thing was certain, which is that we could no= longer expect changes to take place in this society unless we actively com= e up with innovations ourselves. Now, the question is: how can we bring tha= t change? As practitioners, we find ethnography a perfect source of information to br= eed ideas for people to act upon. In this workshop, we will introduce a wor= kshop method called "idea-brokering", which we utilize ethnographic, human-= centered view to raise awareness on the social issues. An example case woul= d concern the behavioral and motivational changes of people in Japan that a= re taking place today. We will then describe key points how the workshop ca= n be designed and be prepared. Towards the end we will open up the discussi= on for how we could practice ethnography for social innovation. We invite participants with experience or interest in esearch in sustainabi= lity, communications, energy and water, products and services; esearch in c= orporations or institutions with mild/little practice on human-centered des= ign or innovations; design for behavioral and motivation change and creativ= e workshop methods. -- Workshop #3 "Learning by Toying"- Experience the fun of relating design, culture & educ= ation Thursday, 19 January, 9am-12pm=20 Swinburne Faculty of Design Building PA, Level 2 Gallery 144 High Street, Prahran 3181 Professor Sudarshan Khanna, Former Principal Designer-Faculty, and Chairman= of Education & Research at the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedab= ad, India The workshop has been designed to experience aspects of creativity, innovat= ion and design methods as part of the process of education. This hands-on w= orkshop shall reconfirm that simple, interesting playthings are the product= s of culture and education. The Workshop will start with an interactive talk. The short introduction wi= th examples will explain that learning can be fun and a process of experien= cing the inter-relationship between design, science, technology, socio-cult= ural contexts and the creative process. A lot can be learned from the toys= and tales of any society. The participants would make and develop a set of= dynamic toys out of a sheet of paper. Later, they would be introduced to t= wo or three toy design concepts. Participants shall make and develop ideas = by using simple, available materials. -- --GshaiqsWK1WD-7ae4aZWexw0s7Af7byPr2DGJz1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> </head> <body style="background-color: #fff;"> <span style="display:none"> </span> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStartT|**|-~--> <div id="ygrp-mlmsg" style="position:relative;"> <div id="ygrp-msg" style="z-index: 1;"> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlEndT|**|-~--> <div id="ygrp-text" > <p>Dear Colleague,<br> <br> Next week, experts from Denmark, Japan, and India will hold three free workshops on advanced practice in design innovation at Swinburne Design.
