MYDATA4CHILDREN invites EVERYONE to our first ever co-created ZINE! We have a very important mission (protect, empower and inspire children) but it is an extremely challenging one. Children’s data is a difficult and sensitive subject, often loaded with negativity or disempowering messages. The discussion is mainly focused on the effect of data on the individual child. With this workshop, we want to explore the collective impact of children’s data and gather ideas and examples from the real world. We want to inspire others to take action! Thus, the idea is to create a zine that is very visual and easy to read to facilitate the engagement with stakeholders, experts, policy makers, developers and business leaders. We will host two design sprints on January 31 to create the first prototype of MyData4Children’s 2024 Zine. Everyone is invited to join! We want all our friends to join, so we have two sessions to cover the different time zones: Miro (collaboration tool): https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVN6-kcXE=/ (Password: JoinMyData) Think about what you want to say about the collective impact of children’s data. You will have one opening in the zine to share your thoughts, projects, ideas, calls to action, etc. Join discussions at the MyData4Children Slack channel. You can contact Dixon or Paula Bello via MyData Slack. MyData 2023 conference
