The key lessons were that although both these groups considered important issue, not actualised their daily activities. Secondly, aware existing had actively used them. demand useful design. After identifying problems, toolkit co-design proposed aid users, generate designs during idea generation. The iteratively refined through participatory research its effectiveness evaluated series workshops interviews. emerged considerations development systematic level change, triggering continuous actions, essential rather than one-off events.
