MyData Online 2020 conference takes place in order to accelerate change towards a fair, sustainable, and prosperous digital society. This is a place to share and learn from each other’s valuable insights and contributions, find answers to difficult questions and collaborate to “make it happen, make it right”!”
While the programme is built upon unique contributions, it’s important to establish a common ground and shared language that will foster better understanding among each other. This is why the conference will be developed around stories from the bigger narrative of MyData – human-centric approach to personal data.
Below you find a collection of themes with short descriptions and further references that help you design your MyData Online 2020 conference story.
To support you in clarifying your story, we are collaborating with designers Paula Bello and Karoline Kwon who will run a Storytelling Bootcamp during October-November. There limited spots available and we need to make selections, based on…
- who is interested to commit time and effort to work on their story
- who’s likely to most benefit from this bootcamp
