What went well?
- croissants!
- Question round on why people came. It triggered a lot of discussions.
- Thought before: Did we choose a boring topic? Will it be lame? > It actually wasn't
- Once you ask people why there are there, and what is interesting or important to them, the stay engaged.
- Game was fun!
- The fact that there were only 2 people gave a lot of room for extraspecial experiences - gossips.
- Lots of gossips! Without asking for it specifically, the setting allowed for story telling, sharing of anecdotes and experiences around peers and in family
- Sharing experiences and doubt really shapes the workshop. When somebody shares openly the vibes become more open cozy.
What could be improved?
- We lost some valuable time with long intro and chatting
- This wouldve also been much different if the persons werent our peers
- Communication/promotion wasn’t great - only our peers through chatgroups and instagram
- We did try to make it happen with Tante Nino, but it became high maintenance in commutation and organization. We then choose a comfortable, low effort promotion, which was not very effective.
Interesting for future editions of the workshop
- Frame it differently? A workshop is interesting to people who are engaged (maybe studying already). Could we do a community get-together? A consulting hour? Story time?
- How can we deal in future with people who would be less critical then Guus and Valentin? Might be a lot harder to approach
- The fact Guus said everything she looks at shes questioning if everything is AI. Very aware eventhough she isnt that technical.
- Ema: How can we help people with that feeling / being so anxious or unsure?
- Lea: Maybe (like Doriane said) thinking less about if it is AI or not, but if it is harmful or not, how it changes the way we engage and make decisions
- Lea: But it is getting harder and harder. What if there’s a moment where we cannot recognize it. Lets not overlook the fact that its important to keep it apart from each other.
