RootIO – Platform Design for Civic Media, a project that aims to create an open-source toolkit to give anyone the power to start and run a radio station using only a smartphone, a cheap radio transmitter and cloud telephony services. The project is currently running in rural northern Uganda, where it will help community to share their own stories, in their own language.
Research through Design (RTD) is a new conference that supports the dissemination of practice-based design research through a novel and experimental conference format, comprising a curated exhibition accompanied by round-table discussions in ‘Rooms of Interest’. RTD 2015 will include an exciting programme of invited ‘Provocations’ – plenary talks that will take place throughout the conference for inspiring and provoking further discussion and debate around the conference themes.
