Here are some key considerations for further developing the concept: - Topics that empower and give a voice to participants while avoiding sensitive personal details - Partnering with local organizations could help scale impact and connect to existing initiatives - An ownership and privacy model is needed to ensure participant consent over how stories are used - Anonymity may encourage open expression but identity options could foster community Continued co-design with the target group will be important to shape the concept in an ethical and meaningful way for the local context.

1. December 21, 2011
The following project presentation was made by students in the two-year
Master’s programme in Interaction Design at Malmö University, Sweden
(www.edu.mah.se/TAIND/)

2.  Creating a channel for young women to express
themselves in Rosengård
 Using coffee to create a social setting and
stimulate conversation
 Paying with stories, instead of money

3.  Girls between 16-24, in Rosengård who:
 Want to be heard
 Enjoy conversation
 Want to listen to others perspectives

6. Our initial idea was a voice triggerd coffeemaker. But we didn't want to focus to much
on the coffee, we wanted to focus on ways that could make sense for girls in
Rosengård to express themselves.
We designed a game to learn what are those. Eventually the game becames
communication tool.

7. The aim of the game was to let users create scenarios
along the questions, that are stated on the game plan.
The point of these scenarios is for us to understand what
make sense for participants. We had made cards with
suggestions to answer each question and we also
brought blank cards to encourage them to write their
own.

8. The game had a game plan with five questions:
 What's on your mind?
 How would you like to express yourself?
 Who is your message for?
 How would you like to send your message?
 What would you like to have in return?

9.  We had a workshop at RGRA, but since it was only
boys there that night, and we tried to arrange a
workshop with both Bircks and Örtogardsskolan in
Rosengard, but they didn’t have time for us.
 So we arranged spontoneous workshops basically
just approaching girls and asking for a few minutes
if their had time at MediaGymnaiset and
Rosengård Library.

10. During the workshop we started to see patterns that
helped us make design decisions for a prototype.
 Future
 Conversation
 Friends
 New perspective

11. We made the prototype to test in Christmas market in Rosengård.
The prototype has a TIMER where you need to speak for 30 second
and, in return ORIGAMi with a new perspective ,A MOTTO about
future.
Also we had the idea this is going to be a standalone piece in the
activity area at the end. So we wrote instractions on the prototype
to see how much instruction that in needed
 Bring a friend
 Grab a microphone
 Talk about the future
 Get a new perspective, origami.

12. G1: What do you want to work with in the future?
G2: I wanna be a writer. G2: I make everything up.
G1: What kind of writer? G1: And nothing in your books , has happened to
What kind of books would you like to write? your friends or to you. Everything is just fiction?
G2: Youth books G2: No-Maybe my friends…
G1: Youth books! What will they be about? G1: your friends—Do they know about that?
G2: Everything about young people….Those that G2: They don’t want me to (write about them)…
are in love… Those that are friends…. G1: But you do it anyway?
You are going to be a cocky writer.
G1: Are you already writing books? G2: No, but, I will tell them. They will have to read
G2 : Yes, I am writing a book now… the books.
G1: what is it about?
G2: A girl without friends… a five year old girl
who doesn’t have any friends. Machine:
Thank you very as you can see the time as filled
G1: When you are writing. up now and you have gotten a new perspective.
Do you use inspiration from your own life. Or do
you make it up?

13.  2 people needed to operate the machine
(Face to face conversation)
 Having something in return ( 2 cups of coffee)
 Listening to other people’s recordings
(New Perspective)
 Starting/stopping recording
(affects the amount of coffee)

15.  Empowering / giving a voice, the ability to record their
thoughts.
 Local / place/specific in Rosengård, topics, the users and
the listeners of the stories, it’s a physical object, all about
Rosengård and the community.
 Performative / have to act to get coffee, verbal
 Collaborative / collecting voices and perspectives
 Verbal / you have a voice and you can create your
stories and listen and collect others. And it is also
connected to the performative. It is a certain way to
interact.

16.  What kind of topics?
 Could it be related to a Bigger purpose?
 Collaborations with companies and organizations?
(coffee componies, city of Malmö…)
 Who is the owner of the content?
 Identity of the participant?
