Schedule

09:00-09:30 - Welcome, Grounding & Shared Agreements

We’ll begin by introducing ourselves and sharing the motivation behind this workshop—why these conversations matter, and why now. Recognizing that the topics may bring up strong emotions or personal memories, we’ll take time to reflect on how we want to engage with one another.

09:30-10:00 - Session on Participatory and Engagement-Driven Approaches (PEDAs)

A structured recap of PEDAs, its foundations, evolution, and examples

10:00-12:00 - Presenting Positionality Zines

Participants present their submitted zines, share thoughts, discuss challenges, connect with others, and form groups

13:00-14:00 - Thematic Breakout Discussions (Zine Session 1)

Participants will divide into topic groups to engage in deep, reflective discussion on core challenges in participatory design with marginalized communities. Each group will collaboratively document insights, tensions, and questions through a zine-page format.

14:00-15:00 - Sharing Across Topics: Presenting the Zines

Groups present their reflections and emerging insights. The zines serve as boundary objects for discussion, feedback, and cross-topic learning. Open Q&A and peer exchange to surface overlapping concerns and divergent practices.

15:00-16:00 - Refinement or Rotation (Zine Session 2)

Groups either refine their zine pages based on feedback or rotate to engage with a different topic, enabling participants to contribute across multiple discussions and challenge their own assumptions.

16:00-17:00 - Collective Reflection & Next Steps

We will map how ideas evolved across the sessions and finalize the structure for a collective zine publication. Participants will also identify shared interests and opportunities for future collaborations, such as; a co-authored reflection piece (e.g., interactions), continued work on methods toolkits or practices, a working group for sustained exchange.
