Lectures & Hands-On Workshops
We deliver hands-on workshops that blend design with privacy education, turning complex concepts into practical insights for designers, businesses, and individuals to make better data protection decisions.
Privacy in the Digital Space: Draw Your Boundaries
Workshop
This reflective workshop invites participants to explore their personal perspectives on privacy. Together, we’ll define what privacy means to you, identify your values, and draw the line between what feels safe to share and what doesn’t. We’ll also delve into fears around personal information theft or misuse, discussing strategies to address these concerns and build confidence in managing your digital presence.

Sharenting: Sharing of Children’s Lives Online
Workshop
Sharing photos and stories of children online known as “sharenting” is common among parents. While it allows for connection and celebration, it also raises concerns about children’s privacy, safety, and consent. This workshop examines the potential risks and ethical considerations of sharenting. Participants will explore the impact of online sharing on children and learn strategies for responsible digital sharing that respect children’s rights and well-being.

Designing for Privacy: Integrating Data Protection into UX
Workshop
This workshop dives into the principles of Privacy by Design, emphasizing the integration of data protection measures from the outset of the design process. Participants will explore strategies to create user-centric designs that uphold data privacy, comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and foster user trust. Attendees will learn to identify potential privacy risks, implement transparent data practices, and design interfaces that empower users with control over their personal information.

Privacy in Art
Workshop
This lecture, “Privacy in Art”, examines how artists have explored the concept of privacy, surveillance, and identity through various art forms, from classical works to contemporary digital media. It highlights how different eras and mediums reflect the tension between private and public life, and how personal space, data collection, and the gaze of the observer shape our understanding of privacy.

Exploring Metaphors – Nature, Data, and Privacy
Workshop
In this lecture, we’ll delve into the powerful metaphors that nature offers for understanding data and privacy. By looking to the natural world, we can uncover strategies for reconnecting with our innate understanding of boundaries, protection, and trust. As digital privacy increasingly disconnects us from our natural perceptions, we’ll explore how nature’s systems can inspire more intuitive, sustainable approaches to data privacy. This session encourages participants to rethink privacy through the lens of the environment, learning how to create designs that resonate with both our digital and natural worlds.

Privacy Myopia – The Responsibility of Designers
Workshop
This workshop focuses on the concept of "privacy myopia" – the tendency to overlook or underestimate privacy concerns in the design of digital products and services. Participants will explore the ethical responsibility of designers to prioritize privacy, considering the long-term impacts of design decisions on users’ personal data. Through discussions and case studies, we’ll examine how designers can avoid privacy blind spots and create products that foster trust and protect user rights.

Privacy and Speculative Futures
Workshop
Dive into the future of privacy through the lens of design fiction. By imagining alternative futures, participants will create scenarios that envision how privacy might evolve and be impacted by emerging technologies. This session encourages critical thinking and creativity, using design fiction to push boundaries and explore potential futures where privacy is redefined.

Unreliable Images
Workshop
We’ll explore the rise of misinformation and digital manipulation through deepfakes, examining how these technologies challenge the concepts of authenticity, trust, and privacy in the digital space. Participants will discuss the ethical and social implications of deepfakes, while exploring strategies for identifying and addressing the risks they present in our increasingly digital world.
