Bring Sustainability into your Digital Day Job
Emissions from ICT are on the rise, and are already more than double the aviation industry which is seen as a highly polluting industry. In order for IT to be viable in the future, emissions must be reduced for every piece of software that is developed.
People are unaware of the effect design and development decisions have on the social and environmental sustainability of their website, and are unable to measure the impact of these decisions. The Sustainability Dojo brings this awareness to attendees in an engaging way to drive action following the event.
In this fun dojo, bring along your laptop and experiment to learn about the following:
- tools to measure website emissions
- design and development factors that affect digital emissions
- your personal bias (option)
- accessibility of your website (option)
In the full day workshop, each attendee or team will walk away with a personal action plan of improvements to take to your workplace immediately.
Depending on you and your teams or groups needs, we have some options for this course:
Focus on Digital Emissions only – looking at a variety of websites, comparing emissions and what factors raise and reduce emissions in design and development of websites.
Personal Bias Extra – this session extension looks at personal bias and explores how knowledge of our own bias helps reduce it in design and development.
Accessibility Extra – this session extension introduces a tool for exploring website accessibility, showing the link between accessibility and sustainability.
Full day session – contains all of the above, PLUS, development of a personal action plan to improve you, your team or your companies website.
