Collective Storya toolkit for community engagement
Anke, Meg, Pam and Rae . SVA IXD Public Interfaces . December 10 2013
Objectives
Promote civic engagement, critical thinking and intergenerational storytelling in public queues or waiting areas. Connect people through stories.
Insights
Through quick low-fidelity experiments with different prompts and in different locations, we gained insights about engaging people and understanding potential barriers to interaction. We learned how to combine message, medium and location to most effectively reach people.
ConceptCollective Story is a toolkit for community engagement. The toolkit provides opportunities for anyone — individuals, groups, schools and other local organizations — to gauge public opinion, provoke discussion and create collectively.
