This workshop – framed in the context of the DESIS Philosophy Talks
<http://www.desis-philosophytalks.org/> – aims to provide insight in and
discuss collaboratively with the participants about *‘Participatory Design
and Democracy’*. It addresses and discusses how PD is currently
regenerating the democratic discourse in local and international contexts.
The current discourse in *design research* and, particularly, PD research
that has been working in a participatory way on common issues in diverse
contexts, has developed an enhanced focus on *rethinking democracy*. To
reflect on the role of responsibility of designers in a time where
democracy in its various forms is often put at risk in many ways – i.e. the
topic of our workshop – seems to us an urgent matter. The workshop is
intended for design researchers working in the field of design and
democracy, willing to actively engage in a conversation on if and how their
practices can be considered as activities regenerating democracy. We also
will look into how Hannah Arendt’s philosophy can contribute to the
discussion about ‘Participatory Design and Democracy’.
*Speakers* Ezio Manzini, Virginia Tassinari, Liesbeth Huybrechts, Maurizio
Teli, Ann Light and others (to be invited) open the debate via a series of
short statements and then open the floor to an *interactive session* in
which your experiences/practices around design and democracy are shared.
*When? *Tuesday 21 August 2018 (morning – half day), Genk
