Workshop on Privilege Awareness and learning about Ethics in the world of Data Science and Data.

We've created this as a public template as we believe education about Privilege and Ethics in the Data world can only improve how see and work with data and understand better how our work with data can affect other people.

The board can be used to help a person facilitate such. workshop and has links to preparation material before the workshop and during the workshop. The ideal workshop size is somewhere between 10-20 people. If the group is too small we advise keeping the personal privilege numbers private as anonymity would be impossible.

Please be mindful that these are sensitive topics and they might not work for everybody, and not all the exercises should be voluntary. People should not be forced to have conversations about their identity if they do not want to.

Workshop duration - 1h 30'- 2h

  • introduction ~10 mins
