Watercasting: Platforms for Engagement in Water and Public Health


Co-creating platforms for engaging stakeholders, policy makers, and public health providers. http://www.watercasting.com

This project is a collaborative effort between Srishti and the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) which has been generously supported through the Wellcome Trust's International Engagement Program and CSTEP.

Policy Goals: Understand current landscape and framing of participation and public engagement with health – especially waterbourne and water influenced disease. Catalyze opportunities for feedback between knowledgeable practitioners and policy makers.

Academic Goals: Understand the formation of preferences, categories, and assumptions for the framing of health and water problems and behaviors.

Technical Goals: To understand which tools and techniques will allow rich co-creation and sharing of insights across diverse stakeholders. To develop relevant visual language and gameplay for communicating water and health concerns.
