Openp2pdesign.org

Open P2P Design was developed at the intersection of many different disciplines, processes and tools, in order to make it possible for a community to co-design a collaborative activity in which to participate together. The methodology takes concepts, processes and tools from Activity Theory (Psychology), Service Design, Social Network Analysis, Action Planning (Urbanism) in order to design an activity in a collaborative way: with Open P2P Design we can analyze, design or re-design an existing or a new activity taking into account both the community and the business that enable it.
