UnBox provides a forum for inter-disciplinary reflections on how to bring about cultural change, something which ties in closely with the philosophy of open collaboration that governs much of our work here at STBY. It involves a whole range of different talks, workshops, and events, which really helps connect the issues that are looked at with the reality of life on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the conference programme, Geke and Bas ran a workshop that provided a general introduction to design research principles. As part of this, they later looked in detail at the project on water usage and sustainability we designed for Southern Water. During the workshop they used some of the materials we\u2019d designed for this project with the UnBox audience; this gave them the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with some design research tools, whilst also providing us with a snapshot of domestic water-use (and people\u2019s perception of this) in India.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stby.eu\/wp_15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_1171.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3615\" title=\"Unbox Workshop Example\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stby.eu\/wp_15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_1171-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can see some of the results in the photos attached to this page. It was a real eye-opener to see the sheer diversity of circumstance present even amongst our audience; some people using relatively little water due to using buckets rather than taps, others with several bathrooms and a \u2018three flush ritual\u2019 (before, during and after in case you were wondering).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always fantastic to be able to work with the tools we\u2019ve designed in these kinds of collaborative settings, and being able to compare some of the insights from the workshop with what we learned in the Southern Water project really brought home some of the cross-cultural differences influencing people\u2019s behaviour. It\u2019s great to use such a simple tool in order to uncover how people\u2019s circumstances can differ, both within and between countries \u2013 we\u2019re already looking forward to UnBox 2013!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stby.eu\/wp_15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_1175.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3616\" title=\"UnBox Workshop Example 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stby.eu\/wp_15\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/IMG_1175-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geke and Bas had a great time in India this month attending UnBox, the annual festival organised by our Indian Reach partner, Quicksand. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[30,42,47,104],"client-domain":[],"service-context":[140],"methods-used":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.8 -
