What helped the process even more was being around leaders who shared my experience of challenges and barriers, despite working on projects that were completely different to mine. Although our interest and specialisms differed, we shared the willingness to find solutions and talk though them, in addition to being opened enough to tease out these challenges among a group of strangers, who each provided a different perspective and insight gathered through some of the Methods of Participatory Design, some of which include, The Circle Way, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology.
