The first half of the day will be focused on an interactive presentation of the techniques, while the second will be devoted to practising them as possible Public Design probes. *Anyone,* who is interested or is looking for a different level of design experience can participate in this workshop. *To participate*, we ask interested people to write a message, a public expression of interest, in our blog. No longer than 150 words here: http://www.experientialdesigning.wordpress.com *The outcomes * We will propose a special issue for an International peer review journal.
