So, after leaving my participants by themselves with the stickers to explore, it was clear there was something going “wrong” because as I tried to aske them how was it going they kept on saying to me that they forgot about it and that they needed more time to do so.

These are some of their own comments:

1. They are genuinly interested in this topic, they felt intrigued and excited about an excersie that allowed them to question the ir environmet.
2. Nevertheless, as they faced the public space, they were fearful about disrupting the public space with red flags. They were afraid of the consequences of their use and didn’t dare to risk it. For example, one of them wanted to place one red flag on the gym or in a public bathroom but didn’t think it was appropriate.
3. They were confused about if they should place the sticker on an object that they felt was baldy designed but questioned if the gender variable was really the reason why it felt unconfortable for them, or just the fact that they were smaller. They asked for better guidance in this area, since it wasn’t clear and suggested more detailed information in the instructions I gave to them.
4. One of them suggested more interaction with other people since it felt as a lonely process.

My own conclusions to the feedback are:

1. Letting them to interact with this by themselves was not an accurate approach since it still felt too broad for them and without the guidance they kept forgetting to do the activity. I had to remember them a couple of times of it. Everyone has their own responsibilities to do and trying to add a new one felt like too much for the,
2. The gap I was still trying to make them identify was still too broad, and it clearly demands a more delimited focus. Maybe that also had an impact into the lack of intervention they had.
3. There’s still some interest and opportunities to keep on working it this, I think maybe as a guided activity could work better. The idea of the red flags was clear though and it made sense to them.
