To effectively communicate with the individuals you are designing for, it is crucial to establish a plan regarding who to approach, what questions to ask, and what data to collect. By preparing in advance and keeping track of your interactions, you can ensure a diverse group of participants, including experts and non-experts, individuals of various genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as a wide range of attitudes, values, and viewpoints.


Workshop steps

1

Consult Extremes and Mainstreams to ensure you engage with a diverse range of individuals.

2

When deciding who to talk to, consider various factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, class, and social position.

3

When creating your interview plan, consider gender sensitivities. In certain communities, men interviewing women may not be well-received. If addressing sensitive topics, such as open defecation, ensure you comprehend the social dynamics prior to starting your interviews.

4

Conducting group interviews can be extremely beneficial, as they assist in identifying potential candidates for individual interviews.
