Design as a process tool of collaborative and multidisciplinary learning in society

Abstract

Active collaboration allows the development of synergies and tools to maintain a diversified, productive and sustainable system. In the framework of an ongoing research project having a case study (L3 Project) and the results of their activities, it was possible to retain the following data: the increase of knowledge by the exchange of skills and the improvement of the competences in a personal, civic and social perspective. The objective is to outline a strategic plan by mapping the network of interactions among all social agents that fosters the construction and rehabilitation of social cohesion. The methodology is distributed in three phases. In an initial phase with an ethnographic research, literary review and case studies; on a second phase, the characterization of the system, the strategic actions and the design of a sustainable ecosystem inserted in the urban context. In the third phase, methodologies presented through surveys and statistics validated by the local community and specialists of social and human sciences. The aim is to give continuity to the research project that already has its methodological expression, including case studies that can reinforce or not the main conclusions, improve the data collection tools for a successive iteration process to reach the best results.
