“…Globalization of society promotes changes in citizens' social behaviours. Design, designers and design educators, as active agents in communication and society, must assume a responsible citizenship role, contributing with their actions to the improvement of their contexts and communities of intervention (Acklin et al, 2013), and in this context, design may have an important role to play (Meth, 2023;Dilekçi and Karatay, 2023).…”

The problem identified in the Digital Experience Theater (DXT) research project is related to the development of interactive digital products, particularly mobile devices, with relevance for empowering a place and its community. Digital products, increasingly ubiquitous in contemporary societies, are a powerful medium for the sociocultural mapping of a community in a simultaneously local and global context. The contribution of design and technology in this field has supported economic and cultural progress. Still, this development only sometimes promotes an integrated economic, social, cultural and environmental sustainability model. The research aims to experiment with a UX design ideation tool to enable a reflection and a clear conscience around the sustainable and holistic creation of digital products and thus promote community development. The DXT leitmotiv is the theatre of the oppressed, created by August Boal, through which users of web and mobile applications are considered vulnerable citizens, subject to a profusion of digital products and their features of questionable usefulness. Following the theatre of the oppressed methodology, the DXT has been collecting the opinion of experts in the field and developing an ideation tool to support creatives, namely students and designers in the field of digital interaction, to contribute to the transformation of this reality and promote the appearance of innovative and sustainable solutions.
