• W2587747670 abstract "Globalization and the boom of new media technologies have rapidly changed the social dynamics of contemporary cities: increased mobility and migration waves determine new relationships between diverse ethnic groups who now share common urban spaces and facilities, while new mobile technologies allow the formation of hybrid (between virtual and physical) communities (Pucci & Mulder, 2013). Within these new multicultural and information rich environments, new forms of social cohesion are constantly formed and challenged; an interesting opportunity lies in designing new ways to leverage local social capital. Afrikaanderwijk is a highly multicultural neighbourhood in Rotterdam South. Although it has a low social index compared to the rest of Rotterdam (and of The Netherlands) it is considered a neighbourhood with opportunities. Consequently, many initiatives have spurred in the last years as part of a National action plan to improve the relatively disadvantaged conditions of the inhabitants, leveraging the unique characteristics it withholds. The ethnic diversity of the neighbourhood is treated in a polarized way: on one hand, it is seen as an important element of richness in a rapidly changing society as the one of Rotterdam, a living lab for new social practices; on the other, the generally low level of education of the inhabitants and their different ethnic background are somewhat stigmatizing them, relegating them in a lower level of society, with slim opportunities given by the local work and social environment to improve their condition. An especially crude situation is observed within the Afrikaander youth. Despite incentives given to initiatives for children, women, and elderly, youngsters seem completely neglected by policy makers. These youth usually attend lower education institutions and have little or no initiatives promoted by the neighbourhood to stimulate their passions and talents after school hours. Furthermore, they are frequently stigmatized as problematic; a common observation regarding young Turkish/Moroccan boys who hang around in groups in public spaces, doing nothing or worse. They often do not have anything better to do than hang around, a practice more common to Mediterranean or Latin cultures, but seen with a certain degree of suspicion within Dutch society. The lack of initiatives within their own local society is aggravated by their poor education level; an immigrant with a low education level (or even no diploma at all) is not attractive to employers, therefore the chances of these youngsters to fulfil their dreams to become better citizens and gain success is very slim. Yet these young adults do have passions, interests, and talents. However, local institutions do not seem to understand the potential of uncovering and exploiting these qualities for societal benefit. The current project, therefore, proposes a more viral, decentralized way of stimulating youth’s self-organization using social media and mobile technologies. Interestingly, young adults interviewed displayed a natural fluency in their relationship with new technologies: smart phones, game consoles and social media are embedded in their everyday life. Obviously belonging to the first generation of digital natives, who “think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors” (Premsky, 2001). They withhold an inherent potential that can be unlocked in innovative ways, stirring educators and policy makers towards future-oriented talent development programs. Inspired by the contemporary Open Design movement, the current project exploits young digital natives’ potential by co-creating with them a means for their empowerment through a peer-to-peer talent development platform. The corresponding step-by-step workshop concept IK BEN STER(K) was proposed and co-designed with Sophie, a coach from the Wijkschool Feijenoord Rotterdam Offensief and performed with the Wijkschool students on a weekly basis over a period of a month. During six workshop steps the students were progressively made familiar with different open source tools such as: Thingiverse, an crowd sourced collection of open designs created for 3D printing and laser cutting, Tinkercad an open online 3D modeling tool to create personal designs for 3D printing and laser cutting, Instructables, an online How To and DIY community where people share their inspiring projects and inventions, the Ultimaker an open source 3D printing machine available at CityLab Rotterdam. The workshop inspired the design of a new interaction scenario for the workshop experience, with a Facebook group as the digital platform for the resulting hybrid community, and two sets of ubiquitous devices as the intermediaries between the digital and physical interactions of the participants. The touch points and the wireframe of the new product service system have been designed optimizing the steps of the workshop, and evaluated with the students during a new workshop on laser cutting. A refinement of the entire product service system (both the digital Facebook page and the ubiquitous devices) followed the workshop evaluation and tested again to verify its acceptance in the student community of the Wijkschool. The final workshop platform is envisioned as a product service system using the Open Data released by the young adults through the documented workshops (via Instructables or similar means of knowledge sharing), and identifying each contribution as a valuable piece of his/her own skills’ portfolio. Members of the community have their own interactive “community membership ID”, a RFID connected token which enables them to personalize and to be recognized in multiple access points of the neighbourhood (e.g., clubs or cultural centres). A more active member will benefit more and will be recognized as a valuable citizen. Other challenges exist, especially on the level of the young adults’ acceptance to be visible to their local community. A reward system could be a possible solution, in terms of enhanced work opportunities or special treats in local stores or cultural centres. The relevance of the project is two-folded: on one hand to increase the level of participation of the youth in their neighbourhood, on the other to allow them to self-promote their value within their own community using new open technologies. Fostering their skills and talents enabled them to contribute to increased social capital of the Afrikaanderwijk, and desirably, of the wider context of Rotterdam. The current pilot serves as a “best practice”, inspiring future social interventions with similar socio-cultural characteristics and affordances." @default.
