Abstract

In this paper, we show examples from one of the living labs from the Give&Take project and discuss the observed challenges of establishing and sustaining living labs in a participatory design context. The observations we present are around the mismatch between research language and everyday language, the need for an open-ended conversation for deeper insights and issues around the effort needed for sustaining labs.
