Conversation #1
Digital ways to connect to each other & our places
Matt Mcstravick, Deepr
At the centre of every design problem is a human relationship.
When people come together with meaningful connection they:
- Carry out whatever task is at hand to the very best of their
ability
- Take great care of the experience of the other
- Are far more flexible when it comes to changes in their
expectations and problems in the process
- Experience feelings of belonging, wellbeing and want to repeat
the activity
The Conditions for human connection
The Framework
Free to download: www.deepr.cc
- 1. Reduce
separation
- 2. Meet
people where they are
- 3. ‘Be’ human
connection as you ‘do’ human connection
- 4. Embrace
new rituals of human connection

Digital Community Engagement
Digital as a way to connect with each other and our places
- Dr. Jo Morrison (Calvium) ACD
Sarah Jones-Morris (Landsmith Associates) Co-chair of ACD
There are different ways of using digital technologies; to enable communities to understand their environments better, to have agency and to co-design places with professionals. We’ve selected some examples of excellent practice submitted by the ACD network:
- Participation through data gathering
- Shaping social places using tech
- Imagining hybrid spaces
Participation through data gathering
Shaping social places using tech
Initial stages of scoping out a community-led plan for a town in Wales
A balanced range of digital tools to enable people to engage with the project in ways in which they feel are accessible. Prepared an approach that seeks to enable people to engage in different ways throughout the project - to enable 'depth' and 'breadth’:
- Breadth: website / stakeholder email list / Place Check map / newsletter
- Depth: Online focus groups (via zoom) for different stakeholder groups
including schools and youth groups / Google forms / Place Check (www.placecheck.info) walkabouts - taking the phone or tablet out to populate the digital map whilst out on a walk

Imagining hybrid spaces
How might location-specific digital products, services and experiences provide new ways for people to experience the public spaces of Porth Teigr?

Digital and remote engagement, creative learning and reciprocal value in public consultation
How do you replicate the messy creativity and genuine connection of hands on processes when you can’t meet in person? How can we learn from digital communities How has building remote engagement processes helped shape our thinking and future practice

Co-designing is a spectrum Question where the power lies in setting the brief, the vision and what expertise is needed to implement it

Am I?
Creating purposeful and respectful ways for people to participate? Actively listening, so as to value the wisdom of those sharing? Creating the right conditions for people to feel supported, appreciated, welcome and to show up as they wish? Behaving in a way that is reinforcing power dynamic or inequity - or creating the space for change? Seeking and validating consent through, early and often? Intentionally building long term relationships and only leaving good behind? Acting in a way that allows positive opportunities to emerge beyond the life of this ‘project’?
