Dear salu/ Cigdem and all

I have been practicing collaborative design in all my projects- both in
design and education. I have been primarily working with traditional
artisan s who actually belong to a tradition which is thousands of years.
In fact i call my method 'do nothing method'. I have uploaded a long paper
on my experience of working in a potters community in kerala at
https://www.academia.edu/8369457/Learning_from_the_potter-_Story_of_attempting_revival_of_pottery_at_a_traditional_potters_community_in_Kerala
 Also see Product design to Process design                   exploring/
proposing a method for working with communities with traditional craft
skills
<https://www.academia.edu/8369671/Product_design_to_Process_design_exploring_proposing_a_method_for_working_with_communities_with_traditional_craft_skills>
You can also see the website www.kumbham.org and particularly the link
http://www.re-cognition.org/crafts/coiltiles.html#   to see articles made
by 14 to 16 years old girls with no guidance.

I have been doing this out of total respect for others ability and knowing
well that  it is only due to a peculiar situation in life that has given me
the power to develop products using their skills.

Re imagining schools has been my latest attempt in this and you may see the

>>

>> I have studied innovation design processes through the lens of learning,
>> which have yielded insights into the capacity of the design team to

>>
>> A key difference that I see between what educators do as compared to

>> Development. Journal of European Industrial Training, 17(3).
>> doi:10.1108/03090599310026355

>> Kolfschoten, G. L., Hengst-Bruggeling, M., & Vreede, G.-J. (2007).
>> Issues in the Design of Facilitated Collaboration Processes. Group

>>
>> Wardale, D. (2008). A Proposed Model for Effective Facilitation. Group
>> Facilitation: A Research & Applications Journal, 9, 49 – 58.

>> There seems to be an association to design facilitators (IAF), and they
