This month, we are doing a workshop for some hands-on learning! 👋🏻

Join us on Monday, October 24th as we think together and discover with Nata Kostenko.

Big tech scandals, deceptive patterns, data privacy issues… We hear about unethical practices all the time. But what exactly does it mean to “work ethically”? And how can you do it in a human-centred way?

It all starts with reflecting on our thought patterns and learning how to voice our concerns. We need to find our North Star and equip ourselves with tools to act against injustice (and keep our sanity).

This is a practical workshop where we will explore ways to incorporate ethics into your work process. We will play with some tools, talk about existing barriers to ethical action, and go through concrete examples you might encounter in your daily work.

Come as you are and let us untangle this knot together!

Nata is a service designer and design researcher at Tilt the Scales. Every day she balances her belief in the power of design to make a difference with the urge to hide from the world’s problems.

This is a FREE event thanks to our friends at Volta and ResMed. There will be time for some Q&A and networking.

The meetup will take place in Volta’s mezzanine floor classroom. The classroom is a bit tricky to access at the moment due to ongoing building renovations, so here are some tips to get there safely (some photos are on the event album as well):

• Enter the building through the doors at the corner of Salter and Barrington Streets.
• Once inside, proceed down the hallway until you see a set of elevators on the far end.
• In the elevators, choose L for Lobby. Sign in with security at the lobby.
• Transfer to a second set of elevators just down the hall in the lobby. Choose M for Mezzanine.
• On the mezzanine floor, proceed down the hall until you see the classroom.

We look forward to seeing everyone! 👏
