Philosophy
Multidisciplinary and multicultural meetingsSharing, developing and working with interaction design coupled to a local context
Design of interactive systems, emphasising paying attention to users’ needs
People centred design - involving users, let them participate at as equal standing as possible
Work with ideas and materialsFast prototypesProcess rather than productsBased on long people centred IT tradition (Participatory Design etc)
