In our contribution, we focus on the use of probes in the sensitive, intimate setting of informal care and discuss their role as one methodological option (or “tool kit”) within a longer, mixed method-process of an international and interdisciplinary PD design project. We state that a carefully designed set of probes and a rather flexible use of them can not only support the understanding of a certain setting and the involved (care) practices for the researchers, but also underlines the involvement of the participants within the co-design-process.en(cultural) probesinformal careethnographyText/Conference Paper10.18420/muc2017-ws02-0304
