Learn to unlearn: Remove bias from your design
How can I (as a designer) become actively anti-racist? What values do I stand for and what am I actively doing in my day-to-day practice?
In this hands-on workshop, we challenge designers to reflect on unconscious bias, define what it takes to set an inclusive brief, and also create a safe space for thought-provoking discussion where we push and challenge ourselves to (re)think how we see racism. We commit to action and activate change – starting within our own day-to-day practice.
