“…Participants acknowledge the importance of offline encounters and the possibility to have open and informal interactions with other parents participating to the collaborative childcare. In this respect our findings support the idea of developing hybrid community engagement based on a constant back and forth between online and offline interactions [25].…”

“…This happens to knowledge workers too (see for example [4,6,19]) for whom the boundary between the working and the private spheres is blurring [1], specifically because of the demands of this type of work including the atypical working patterns and the ubiquitous presence of digital technology [14,26,33]. From a management perspective, the enactment of policies to support balance of work and life roles may be beneficial to employees' performance [8,22] and these effects are not direct but rather mediated by employee wellbeing [25]. Furthermore, the beneficial effects are not mediated by gender (that is, on female employees only) and not either by family responsibilities, provided that the policies are accessible and known.…”

This paper presents findings from a participatory design process for a collaborative childcare service based on co-worker participation and supported by a digital sharing platform. We conducted semi-structured interviews, focus groups and codesign workshops with 41 employees and HR managers of six knowledge organizations. We investigated their views on participative forms of welfare, the factors that can sustain or hinder collaboration among co-workers and the role technology can play in sustaining these practices. The findings shed light on perceived values and potential barriers of social and organizational arrangements as well as the mediating role of interpersonal trust, social exchange and reciprocity. Furthermore, the results provide insights on how digital platforms can support orchestration and management of collaborative practices grounded on employee participation and on the interplay between work and family life spheres.

“…The strategy of daily social practices asks for a diverse set of activities, which address the intrinsic motivation of different people to make each of them feel responsible for the park. Mosconi et al [27] as well as de Lange and de Waal [10] point out that some communities can be better understood as networked publics, in which activities and engagement are heterogeneous, rather than strive for a homogeneous community.…”

The current work explores the participation divide that is oftentimes at play within local citizen communities. The studied case illustrates a common situation where the majority of local citizens does not participate in public space improvement and maintenance activities organised by local community activists. The presented research involved semi-structured interviews supported by interactive service design probes. It has led to two strategies for stimulating community participation, namely 1) increasing transparency around community activities, and 2) embedding community participation in citizens' daily social practices.

Communities and social support are considered to be important for people's ability to cultivate a healthy lifestyle. Yet, digital technology for everyday health predominantly focuses on individual use and performance optimisation. In this paper, we present how we have designed a mobile application to support community collaboration around health based on a conceptual model aiming at bringing a horizon of connectedness with health to residents in a local community. The research is conducted as a long-term participatory design process in a neighbourhood with low socioeconomic status and significant health challenges. We introduce a community perspective on everyday health and the codesigned application focused on local collaboration around physical activity. Via workshops with residents and community workers, we critically examine opportunities and challenges for the application's ability to form a horizon and facilitate community collaboration around health in the neighbourhood 1 .
