| MORNING: Feedback / Telling
the story |
| This session was aimed at creating a backdrop
for the discussions on the value of the Interdesign that
followed in the afternoon sessions. It created an awareness
of what the Interdesign was all about and how it was experienced
and perceived by those involved, including participants, experts,
communities and organisers. It also illustrated the potential
of Interdesigns to address development issues and what is needed
to formally use Interdesigns to establish design as a real change
agent .
