How would you describe your experience during the Melbourne Lockdown in one word?
The WIL Students and Amina discuss the questions for the Focus Group. Image: RMIT PlaceLab.
The Focus Group was hosted at the Melbourne PlaceLab Research Studio in early November. Facilitated and designed by Research Assistant Amina and the WIL Students Jamie, Kathleen and Cecilia, the participants were asked to share their experiences of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The workshop commenced with icebreaker games to offer the participants and researchers an opportunity to get to know each other and feel relaxed within the research studio. This informal and relaxed environment continued during the focus group discussions, so the participants were comfortable in detailing their experiences and recommendations.
The questions were broken into the following topics:
- Social
- Cultural
- Health
- Educational
- Finance/ Housing
- Suggestions for improving
Thank you again to the participants of the Focus Group for sharing their knowledge and time with the project. Your contribution is valued.
