Abstract
The meaningful application of Participatory Design (PD) in African communities requires a thoughtful reevaluation of its approaches. In efforts to adapt it to this different context, PD researchers and practitioners face several challenges, including language barriers and the need for a deeper understanding of communities. To encourage interdisciplinary discussions on co-designing in Africa, this panel will explore past, present and emerging practices of participatory design. The primary goals of the panel are twofold (i) to deepen the understanding of co-design practices, successes, and challenges in Africa by reflecting upon the past and current practices and (ii) to discuss the impact of summer schools in Africa in the hopes of envisioning potential futures. The panel will discuss co-design development in different African countries, the insights from the African co-design academy, and the characteristics, barriers, facilitators, and future directions for African co-design
