On February 8, members of the Center for Design & Sustainability (NDS) UFPR promoted training on the implementation of cultural probes and tools for the other participating members of the research network. This training was attended by researchers from the Universidade Federal do Paraná, UFBA and UFSM. Besides the training, there was also a presentation of the results found in the survey conducted by NDS, which were used as the basis for selection of families for the subsequent application of the Cultural Probes.
During the training, Professor Tracy Brahmra Longhbourn University (England) made a brief presentation on the topic "Changing Behaviour Through Products" through videoconferencing. In this presentation were approached issues about the experiences with the use of tools and data analysis of the cultural probes, within communities of England and Mexico, as well as some recommendations for the use of tools.
After the presentation of Professor Tracy, were conducted some presentations regarding the project progress and the tools set for application in the pilot family in Piraquara (PR). About the these tools, the participating members made some suggestions of changes for improving the application protocol. Among these suggestions was previously established the application of the probes to the beginning of March. The NDS members will develop an application kit for the Cultural Probes that will be sent to other members of the network for its proper application in the pilot phase. The simultaneous application of the pilot tools will be important to identify the dynamics of application particuliaridades considering the different contexts in which they will be applied.
Below are available from the presentations files shown during the training.
