The situational dynamics of participatory interaction become obvious throughout the design experiences within our community project. Supported by a theoretical framework we reflect upon current participatory design practices. We intend to inspire and refine participatory design concepts and methods beyond the particular context of our own experiences.enCommunity participationRural interaction designAfrican contextUser interfacesUser-centred designEvaluation methodologyConference PresentationWinschiers-Theophilus, H., Chivuno-Kuria, S., Kapuire, G., Bidwell, N., & Blake, E.
