Use at least one (1) sensing strategy to learn more about your community. Document your learnings in your Manghahabi Kit.
Unpacking Design Thinking
Unpacking Design Thinking
Design Thinking is a structured but messy approach that we can use to find and solve problems with our community. We learned through a fun activity with Kevin and Miles. Follow along by watching the video! If you'd like to jump straight to the talk, skip to 27:24.

My Strengths, Hopes, and Dreams, and Dream Barriers
My Strengths, Hopes, and Dreams, and Dream Barriers
Designers are optimistic. We are motivated by our own hopes and dreams to solve problems and to work with communities to design better lives together. At the same time, we are sensitive to the needs of our communities and understand how real barriers can prevent us from achieving our goals. Find your Manghahabi Kit below, log in using your provided email address, and reflect on the prompts on slides 4-7.
Empathy and Sensing as Superpowers
Empathy and Sensing as Superpowers
As designers, empathy is our superpower! We can use different strategies to sense our community's needs so that we can understand them more deeply and design solutions with them. Watch the video below to learn more about empathy before starting your community sensing.

Field Observations
Field Observations
One of the best ways to start understanding the context we are designing in is by direct observation. Conduct Field Observations to gather more details and unlock insights about your users and the design problem you wish to solve.
You can conduct observations remotely if direct field observations are not possible. Establish cooperation with and ask help from your users to provide you the information you need. Photos, video and audio recordings, written records, and so on are all helpful sources of in

Shadowing your users allows you to observe them in the context you are designing solutions for, and ensures that whatever you come up with is informed by their actual experiences.
It's important to stress that the way your intended users are behaving should be as natural and close to their actual day-to-day behaviors as possible, otherwise you might be designing something for an idealized situation, rendering it ineffective for actual use.

Sharing stories is one of the oldest ways we can gather information. Listen to how your users describe and share their experiences through their perspective.
Combine your Kuwentuhan with other data gathering methods, like surveys, to further validate the information you have gathered and possibly unlock new insights.
Consulting Experts
Consulting Experts
Look to expert knowledge to further inform your design process. Whether its through reaching out to actual experts or reading through their work, their tried-and-tested knowledge (even their mistakes!) can give valuable insight to your process.
