ABSTRACT
In this paper, we introduce a method of Pattern Language Remix to apply and support beyond social and cultural backgrounds. We present a case study wherein it has been used to support Filipino youth attending vocational training schools in the Philippines. Pattern Language Remix is one approach that utilizes existing pattern language previously created and recombines it for a different objective. In this study, the Pattern Language Remix was created mainly by the local teachers with the objective of helping Filipino youth facing a hard situation in their life, to identify and take action on their work and life goals. Using the remix, several workshops were held for students attending the vocational school in Mindanao to think about their own future and what kind of practices they should actually implement, despite their difficulties. The results from the workshop suggest that utilizing pattern language has potential as a support method to encourage Filipino youth to take action and motivate themselves toward their future goals and dreams. In addition, we demonstrated the importance of the process in which individuals select patterns that one considers important in their own situation, in relation to the “Capability Approach” advocated by Amartya Sen, a development economist and philosopher. It was suggested that the Pattern Language Remix method used here could be applied not only in the Philippines but also in other contexts as an internal empowerment, incorporating the practitioners’ own perspectives.
