Can we create opportunities for users to tell a story and be heard, or create an opportunity to listen to someone else's story? Can we transform the moments of everyday interactions on occasion to tell stories? Can we find opportunities for users to learn more about another through new forms of interaction inside the city? What could be the role of technology in shaping the future? Starting from empathy as the possibility to take into account, understand, and be sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of another person without having the same experience as them, and understanding it as a key emotion in the construction of citizenship. We create the research project to think in a way that we as designers can help people to connect in the language of contemporaneity. Exploring the role of technology in shaping the future, and transform the moments of everyday interactions and places on occasion to tell stories, and create meaningful dialogue and move from personal narratives to public narratives that become heart of communities, common story and understanding, building a better social environment.
