Considerations for (Teaching) Facilitator Roles for Movement-Based Design

Given the emergence of many new movement-based design methods, our work explores the problem of facilitating the activities and sessions that are part of these methods. We look at literature as well as our own experiences with facilitating movement-based design sessions, draw lessons regarding the various important facets of this facilitation, and present first thoughts regarding how to make competencies in that type of facilitation transferable in teaching

The Method Cards for Movement-based Interaction Design (MeCaMInD) project is an ambitious initiative funded by the EU through the Erasmus+ strategic partnership program. Our primary objective is to introduce movement as an integral component in the design process of new practices, artifacts, and interaction designs for sports and physical activities. The intent is to drive the development of more sustainable movement technologies and sports concepts, enhancing health and well-being for people across Europe.MeCaMInD is a cooperative endeavour involving six prestigious institutions: the University of Southern Denmark, Aalto University, Malmö University, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, the University of Twente, and Uppsala University. We are committed to creating and enhancing a movement-based creative design environment. The project caters to students and design professionals, providing an array of tools and methods.The movement-focused design approach aims to rethink how technology can be integrated more naturally and engagingly into our daily lives and activities. MeCaMInD envisions a future where technology, sports, and movement fuse seamlessly to promote an active, healthy, and joyful lifestyle
