In Short

The Discussion Toolkit is a tangible toolkit designed to evoke discussions on imaginary futures. This toolkit was used as a design probe to study the usefulness and appropriation of such a toolkit in evoking discussion about food futures. Each element of the toolkit is inspired by one of the senses and enables a discussion each in a unique way. The toolkit includes: a set of discussion cards, a visual timeline, interaction cards, physical artifacts and a soundscape. Participants were asked to gather in groups and utilize the design probe to start discussing and brainstorming about the cycle of food in the future: get, consume and waste.
