About the Meetup

Hola Uxers,

Os proponemos nuestro próximo encuentro día 15 de Diciembre en el Canòdrom. En esta ocasión conoceremos al equipo LAB y PX de Metadecidim que están en los inicios de la creación de la plataforma para la participación democrática Decidim. Decidim PX (Experiencia de Participante): diseño participativo de plataformas digitales democráticas.

Este tipo de plataforma plantea cuestiones del ámbito de la teoría y de la metodología UX para intentar resolver un reto clave. ¿Qué modelo de diseño ha de seguirse para mejorar la experiencia de las participantes en Decidim?

A continuación del LAB haremos un workshop del equipo PX de Metadecidim en el que podremos participar para intentar resolver algunos retos de la plataforma y terminaremos la velada con networking.

17:30 - 18:00 Presentación de IxDF y de Decidim

*Para este Lab de 60min necesitamos 3 Uxers que quieran participar activamente como ponentes. Si te interesa participar envíanos un e-mail a [email protected] contestando brevemente a las preguntas siguientes y nos pondremos en contacto contigo. Si conoces a alguien que quisiera participar, corred la voz.

- ¿Qué modelos o paradigmas de diseño en torno a la UX existen?
- ¿Qué factores han de tenerse en cuenta (arquitectura de la información, del interfaz, de la navegación, etc.)? ¿cuáles son las reglas y recomendaciones básicas?
- ¿Qué modelo es el más apropiado y cómo ha de modificarse para responder a la idiosincrasia de un proyecto como decidim?
- ¿Qué implicaciones prácticas (retos, posibilidades, etc.) tiene la transición del tradicional modelo de UX al concepto de PX?
- ¿Qué rol juega la experiencia del participante en la constitución de y participación en las nuevas formas de democracia en red, así como su éxito o fracaso?
- ¿Cuál es la conexión entre experiencia y participación?
- ¿Cuáles son las coordenadas teóricas y prácticas centrales desde las que debemos pensarlas? ¿y las metodologías para aplicarlas?

Hello Uxers,

We are organizing our next meeting for December 15th at the Canòdrom. This time we will meet LAB and PX team of Metadecidim, which are at the beginning of the development of the democratic participation platform Decidim. Decidim PX (Participant Experience). Participatory design for democratic digital platforms.

This type of platform poses UX theory and methodology questions in trying to solve a key challenge: What type of design model must be followed to improve the experience of Decidim participants?

Following the LAB we will all join a workshop by the Metadecidim PX team trying to solve some of the platforms challenges. We will end the evening with some networking.

17:30 - 18:00 Presentation of IxDF and Decidim
18:00 - 19:00 Lab Metadecidim*
19:00 - 20:00 Workshop by Team PX (Participant Experience)
20:00 - 20:30 Networking

*For this 60-minute Lab we need 3 UX designers who would like to participate as speakers. If you are interested please send us an email to [email protected] answering briefly to the following questions and we’ll contact you. If you know someone who should be on this panel, please pass it forward. (The panel will be in Spanish)

- What UX models or design paradigms already exist?

- What factors need to be taken into account (information architectures, interface design, navigation) What basic recommendations would you give?

- What is the most appropriate model and how could it be adapted to answer to the idiosyncrasy of a project such as Decidim?

- What practical implications (challenges, possibilities..) exist transitioning from a traditional UX model to the PX concept

- What role does participatory experience play in the constitution and participation in new forms of online democracy, as well as its possible success or failure?

- What connection is there between experience and participation? What are the theoretical and practical central guides we should use to think about this. Which methodologies should we be applying?

Why Join

Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.

Questions? We've Got Answers

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.

IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.

You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.

You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.

Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. As an IxDF member, you can also plan and create your own meetups. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.

Some examples of what you'll find:

  • Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A

  • Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects

  • Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together

  • Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback

  • Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading

Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.

What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

Yes, absolutely!

Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.

IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.

You'll fit right in regardless of your background.

Get a Place To Belong.
Meet the Right People

In a world that's getting more artificial and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back, so you never have to face the job market alone.

Learn together, get mentored, find your next job, and build friendships that grow your career.
