Overview
As steps towards establishing a community of practice on PD facilitation and cultivating reflective practices among facilitators, we seek to arrange a workshop in which relevant topics can be explored. Core topics that will be addressed in the workshop include:
• Perspectives on role of the facilitator and role fulfilling practices.
• Current reflective practices among facilitators.
• Ways that can support and improve reflective practices among facilitators.
We consider the workshop to be mainly of interest for researchers and practitioners in HCI and PD, who facilitate participatory design or co-design activities as part of their work. To increase the possibilities for fruitful exchange of ideas, perspectives, and experiences, we aim to gather researchers and practitioners with various backgrounds and project experiences, who share a common interest in facilitation of participatory design activities. Through the workshop we hope that participants can develop their reflective thinking regarding the facilitator role and that the workshop can act as an arena for forming future research collaboration and identification of possible joint publications relevant to the topic.
Participate
• Perspectives on the facilitator role.
• Facilitator practices and strategies.
• Challenges facing the facilitator (e.g., when dealing with groups with special needs, conflicting perspectives, large-scale PD projects).
• Lessons learned from facilitated participatory activities (successes and failures).
• Combinations of the above.
The length of the papers should be between three and six pages (including references) in the ACM standard single column format. All the accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings at CEUR-WS. In this way, the papers will be archived, and the authors can keep the copyright to themselves.
The workshop is a step towards building a community of practice related to participatory design facilitation and is intended as an arena for identifying future research collaboration, including possibilities for joint publications. The organizers will work for initiating a special issue in a suitable venue, where extended versions of the workshop papers can be considered for publication.
Participants are expected to attend the venue of the workshop physically (there will be no possibilities for remote/virtual attendance).

Organizers
Yngve Dahl is Associate Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Science. He belongs to the research group for Information Systems and Software Engineering. Dahl holds a PhD in Computer science from NTNU. His academic interests are in the field of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). Dahl has conducted HCI research in areas such as of user-centered design, usability evaluation methodology, participatory design, values in design and collaborative technology since the early 2000s. The majority of Dahl’s work consists of empirical designoriented research with real users, with a particular focus on digital health care technology for clinical and assistive use. The results of his research have been published in leading international scientific HCI journals and conference proceedings.
Kshitij Sharma is Associate Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Science. He belongs to the research group for Information Systems and Software Engineering at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. Sharma holds a PhD in Computer science from Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Sharma’s background is in the area of Human-Computer Interaction and Collaborative/cooperative learning. The main context for the application of Sharma’s research has been education. He seeks to understand relations between users’ data (EEG, eye-tracking, facial expressions users’ actions) and the profile of the user (expertise, motivation, strategy, performance) based on empirical experimentation using design-based research and mixed methods analysis.
Dag Svanæs is Professor at at the Department of Computer and Information Science, NTNU. He received his Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from the same university. His research over the last 25 years has been in the fields of HCI and Interaction Design. His main focus has been on user-centered design methods and basic theory of interaction. A common theme is the importance of non-cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction – often called embodied interaction. At a practical level this involves a focus on the physical, bodily and social aspects of interaction. In his research he makes use of role play and low-fidelity prototyping in realistic settings to involve end-users in the design process.
