MCBW LECTURES / DesignBetter: UnConference on Design & Ethics
13:00 – 18:15
Is there such a thing as design ethics? What can we do to promote ethically responsible design?
To explore the topic, the UnConference on Design & Ethics takes us on a discovery journey where we step from known onto unknown ground. Thinkers and doers put their viewpoints up for discussion and decisions on what we can do are reached together. The experimental conference setting facilitates direct interaction between experts and audience. The results are uncertain – we may know less, we may do more. What is certain is that we will share a common experience – one day of DesignBetter.
Note: This is a not-for-designers-only event and requires personal involvement! The Conference will be held in English.
