Design Ecological Citizenship Wellbeing

This research paper describes the development and application of the Ecological Citizen(s) Preferable Futures Deck (PF Deck), a toolkit designed to foster ecological citizenship and wellbeing through a 'post-participatory intervention' approach.

• The Ecological Citizen(s) Preferable Futures Deck (PF Deck) is a wellbeing intervention and piloted toolkit created through a research-through-design process to address ecological, social, and democratic crises. It is intended for use by educators, community organizers, local authorities, civil society organizations, and policy-adjacent actors to inspire place-based action and cultivate ecological citizenship.
• The authors introduce a 'post-participatory intervention' methodology where designers act as catalysts and conveners for community-led practices rather than merely facilitating participation in predefined projects. This approach combines multiple knowledge frames to design for social and ecological wellbeing.
