Designing a participatory design workshop

Date and Time
Thursday June 4th at 12pm BST / 8pm JT / 7am EDT

About Presentation:
When working on the design of gameChange, to help people with psychosis I developed a series of participatory design workshops to include people with lived experience of psychosis in the design process. In this workshop I talk about some of the decisions that were made when designing the workshops, the development of the workshop materials and how they were run.

Accessibility Details:
Mozilla Hubs holds weekly office hours that can be used to practice and gain an understanding of how to interact in Mozilla Hubs.

We will have captions provided by White Coat Captioning and have the real time text translation displayed in Hubs.
We will have video streaming of the event to YouTube via a partnership with the Internet Society Accessibility SIG (a11ySIG).

If you are unable to join via Hubs, we encourage you to watch the stream on YouTube and ask questions. As we begin meeting regularly each month we will capture feedback on ways we can be more accessible and inclusive in virtual reality and start incorporating them into a set of Best Practices.
