Abstract

The  paper  reports  a  workshop  held  by  the  author  at  the  University  of  Aveiro.   Part  of  an  ongoing  PhD  research  focused  on  the  possibility  of  designing  the  empathic   experience,  the  workshop  Design  for  Empathy  involved  4  PhD  students  in  Design,  with   research  interests  in  design  for  social  innovation,  and  a  professor  of  UX  design. The  participants  were  asked  to  assess  and  review  a  list  of  ‘enablers’  of  the  empathic   experience,  previously  identified  by  the  author  among  some  case  studies  presented  in   the   workshop   along   with   the   relevant   ‘enablers’.   The   ‘enablers’   are   intended   as   conditions  that  make  the  empathic  experience  happen  within  relational  situations,  The   research  stems  from  the  assumption  that  these  conditions  can  be  designed  to  some   extent.   In  the  present  paper  the  workshop  Design  for  Empathy  will  be  reported  providing  an   insight  in  its  structure  and  development,   as  well  as  some  of   the  results  achieved.   Nevertheless,   being   the  workshop   part   of   an   ongoing   research,  the   argumentation   leaves  room  to  a  wide  range  of  conclusions  that  will  not  be  stressed  here.
