Zero green areas, contamination, lack of security, bad infrastructure, poor living conditions, waste on the streets…These may be several of the problems you deal with in your neighbourhood. Have you ever thought of doing something about these issues but you don't know how or where to start? If so, join this workshop. You will be guided through the context of your problem to possible strategies and solutions using social design and design thinking methodologies. You don’t need to know anything about social design or design thinking. Just participate actively with your ideas and do consider that the implementation of the potential strategies and solutions most likely will depend on you. Be aware this is not a game, but a neighbourhood design activity.

ENRIQUE PEREZ
Over the last two decades, Enrique Perez, “KIX”, has worked on a wide range of play-related projects: toys, board games, digital games, gamified everyday-activities, interactive installations, performances, a gamified theatre play, an amusement park attraction and comedy. The topics of these works have revolved around peace and conflict resolution, skill development for children on the autism spectrum, the uneven distribution of resources in our society, meditation and concentration, empathy, bullying, school shootings, the forced prostitution of women, the negative effects of corruption in society, extortion and bureaucratic procedures, human rights, as well as other not so serious and funny things, such as nonsensical play, casual play, party games, dance and doing lots of really crazy stuff. Besides making games with commercial, academic and artistic purposes, Enrique, “KIX”, works as “civic playgrounds” offering gamification, serious game design, and social design to the public sector, non-governmental organizations, foundations, and international agencies. He holds an MSc. in Art and Media Technology (Gothenburg University), an MSc. in Games (IT University of Copenhagen) and a PhD. about design methods and design methodologies with focus on the design of independent games (Bayreuth University).
