Abstract/Summary

Este artigo discute oportunidades e desafios na aprendizagem e no desenvolvimento de competências para práticas inclusivas por meio de um hackathon colaborativo, multidisciplinar de dois dias. ‘A forma inclusiva’ reuniu estudantes e profissionais de diferentes disciplinas e níveis de ensino, pessoas com deficiência e profissionais da indústria. As equipas do projeto exploraram a trabalhar no local um briefing inclusivo de orientação, desenvolvendo e avaliando protótipos para práticas inclusivas em resposta ao local físico e o seu ambiente imediato. Esta apresentação reflete sobre o hackathon como abordagem pedagógica, destacando o seu potencial e limitações para a educação em comunicação e design de informação no século XXI. This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges for learning about and building skills for inclusive practice through a two-day, multidisciplinary, collaborative hackathon. ‘The inclusive way’ brought together students and staff from different disciplines and study levels, people with disabilities and industry professionals. Working on-site, project teams explored an inclusive wayfinding brief, developing and appraising prototypes for inclusive practice in response to the physical site and its immediate surroundings. This presentation reflects on the hackathon as a pedagogic approach, highlighting its potential and limitations for communication and information design education in the 21st century.
