‘[…] my husband did not spend time with me. He lived
in his own world. […] I started to worry because my
husband was drinking, smoking and taking drugs. He
would take money secretly from the house. He would
tell me that the kids were not his and that I had
boyfriends. He told me I had to go. I really worried
about all these things. I got stressed and was
thinking ‘What’s going on?’

‘[…] I came to the Centre and joined the group and
we can come and enjoy each other’s company. We
forget all our sadness, it’s an enjoyable time. I’m
doing courses here because I want to establish a
future for my kids, because I don’t want them to pass
through life worrying. I don’t want my kids to worry
like me.’

Learning from the process
• Making probes to make sense of issues
• Encourages concrete decision making about what you think you know
• Constant negotiation and dialogue • Work is not just in the crafted
artefacts, but also in the articulation work around them
Case Study
We are currently exploring the potential of place-based social networks for older adults in Newcastle. The purpose is to develop inspiration for experimental and imaginative situated digital networking for older adults in urban environments.
Work together to develop ideas for a probe pack to understand experiences of how older adults socially engage with the city.

Wright & McCarthy
‘… stories are essential to the human condition because it is only when the events of our lives, our experiences, are transformed into a story that we become agents of our history.’ [p. 27]

Wright & McCarthy
‘We know users and their experiences through the stories they tell, and we reconstruct and re-tell in another context (e.g., discussion with the design team). (…) Creating a tradition of narration in experience-centred design, of creating, telling, sharing, and listening to stories, may enhance the community’s ability to imagine otherness and use it in design.’ [p. 37]

Brandt, Binder & Sanders
‘… storytelling holds not only much of what is remembered but also clues to what should be done in the future. In a Participatory Design practice, the telling of the community goes hand in hand with the making of things that make the community imagine and rehearse what may be accomplished in the collaboration’ [p. 148]

Brandt, Binder & Sanders‘… stories not only recount past events but also convey the speaker’s moral attitude towards these events’ [p. 152] ‘… narratives are ‘well suited to transmit the part of social knowledge that concerns history, values and identity’ ’ [Linde 2001: 163]
‘Stories remain within particular communities of practice. They do not usually reach the communities of designers.’ [p. 152]

QUALITIES OF STORIES
Balancing coming together with independence
Embodied expressions of relationships
Negotiated sharing practices
‘We met in (refuge name) 2 years ago and felt freedom for the first time in our lives. When we first got there we were in the same condition. We sat and shared our problems.’
Zahrah & Saeeda
Embodied expressions of relationships
‘ […] sometimes we want to work independently because sometimes our minds are different […]. Sometimes everybody needs advice. I want to make decisions myself, but asking for help is OK.’
Saeeda
Carefully co-curated situated selections
Balancing coming together with independence
Negotiated sharing practices
Learning from the process
• Aspects of story supported through different media
• Everyday storytelling and broadcast to publics
• Skills and interests in technology• Evocations of curated experiences
Case Study
We are currently exploring the potential of place-based social networks for older adults in Newcastle. The purpose is to develop inspiration for experimental and imaginative situated digital networking for older adults in urban environments.
Work together to develop ideas for a participatory video research project that shares older people’s experiences of the city.
