Other Titles: | Co-Construction Kits : das transformative Potential interpersonaler Beziehungen für außerschulische Gemeinschaftszentren | Authors: | Meintjes, Roger | Supervisor: | Schelhowe, Heidi | 1. Expert: | Schelhowe, Heidi | Experts: | Mikhak, Bakhtiar | Abstract: | The following thesis makes contributions to the design and educational use of tangible construction kits. It is shown that their transformative effect for young people in economically-disadvantaged communities is closely tied to kits, and their design, being embedded in a concept which places the communal nature of use at the centre. The approach enables young people to use the tools to strengthen social engagement and make investments their social environment. |
