STUDENT PROJECTS

We invite students and learners to share how PD approaches are applied and inform their projects, the ways in which they are challenging PD practice and especially how they invite us to think participation and design «otherwise» (see the conference call for papers for more info on the theme for PDC2020)

**** Student Projects deadline extended to March 25th****

Considering that the Participatory Design Conference organizing committee has decided to have a hybrid (local and online) conference in response to recent global developments, the Student Projects deadline has been extended. We assume that many students around the world have insightful projects, while many have challenges to attend the conference in Manizales, Colombia. Now that the Student Projects can be presented online, we expect that more students will submit their projects with the new deadline.

More info on the plans and formats for this new version of PDC2020 otherwise will be available soon on this website. Lets use this chance to grow together!
