Um exercício de colaboração por meio de práticas projetuais: Mães Inosel

Abstract

ResumoEste trabalho trata de um exercício de colaboração proposto, por meio de capacitação baseada em práticas projetuais do campo do design, às mães que possuem filhos na escola Inosel. O Inosel (Instituto Nossa Senhora de Lourdes) fica localizado no bairro da Gávea, Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro. É uma escola católica, beneficente, de assistência social, que integra alunos surdos e com audição normal. Como escola beneficente, ela auxilia, com bolsas de estudos, crianças com deficiência auditiva que moram na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O estudo de caso a que se refere o presente artigo caracterizou-se pela construção de uma metodologia própria com atividades direcionadas às especificidades do grupo. Esta baseou-se na metodologia do Design em Parceria, viabilizando o trabalho com o grupo em torno de etapas projetuais do design, empoderando dessa forma as participantes a desenvolver tarefas a partir de seus desejos, conhecimentos e expectativas. Palavras-chave:Design em Parceria, Colaboração, Interdisciplinaridade, Inosel. AbstractThis study presents an exercise in collaboration in which mothers with children studying at Inosel school receive capacity-building through design development activities. The school (Instituto Nossa Senhora de Lourdes) is a catholic educational establishment based in the Gávea district of Rio de Janeiro that admits both deaf and hearing students and provides scholarships for hearingimpaired children who live in Rio de Janeiro. The case study reported on here involved the development of a tailor-made methodology involving activities designed specifically for the group members. Inspired by Design in Partnership, the idea is to enable the group to work on different stages of a design process, there by empowering them to carry out tasks based on their own wishes, knowledge, and expectations.

Current Accessibility Challenges and Perspectives for People with Visual Impairments in Tabletop Games

“…The key here is to understand that different people with different needs will require different resources and adaptations. So, as suggested in the paper by Heron et al (2018aHeron et al ( , 2018b, the most effective way to increase the amount of accessible games and to guarantee that their accessibility standards are effective is to include a more diverse cast of people when play-testing games, which leads us to the crux of Design in Partnership: this approach, that is very similar to co-design (Cruz, Couto, Portas, 2019;Cunha, Providência, 2020), was originally coined by professors Ana Branco and José Luiz Ripper in 1988 as part of the curriculum of PUC-Rio's Department of Arts and Design. This approach to design was particularly innovative in the sense that focuses on the exchange between people, coexisting in nature, and its primary premisses are the interaction and dialogue between subjects (Araujo, Brazil, Espanhol, Léste, Perpétuo, 2022) in lieu of some more traditional approaches that try to establish the designer as the sole or most relevant decision-maker in the design process, not necessarily taking into consideration the full spectrum of emotions, thoughts, opinions and desires of the final user.…”
