ATHENS

We employ a series of methodologies and underlying methods depending on the particularities of the contexts that we engage in, the needs and aspirations of the specific groups we relate with, and the skills of the members involved in such encounters. For this reason, our work is reflective, relational, as well as interdisciplinary, as it asks for the creative collaboration of social analysis and digital design: as a result, all involved methodologies depart from Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach... In this regard, our work attempts to "design for social innovation": we embed into these contexts so as to activate, maintain, proliferate and orient such practices towards sustainability. We see our work in OLA as a co-design process contributing at social change. Currently, we work with urban social movements and more specifically on service innovation through solidarity practices, social care, housing in urban settings, labour rights and cooperativism, and self-organisation..
