Design Challenge // How might we envision a world where technology strengthens people’s voices and power, and centers human rights and social justice in its design and use?
Partner // Danny Vannucchi
Client // Luminate Strategic Initiatives (LSI) Team @ Luminate
Project // Co-design & facilitation for Luminate Strategic Initiatives, a foundation that is part of the Omidyar Network.
Role // Strategic Facilitator & Designer
Outcome // As a distributed team, LSI wanted to gather to celebrate accomplishments, reflect on lessons learned, and imagine an ideal way forward in light of Luminate’s evolved strategy, which seeks to support people, organisations, and movements that are challenging Big Tech’s outsized and unchecked power and the misuse of digital technology by governments.
Through a blend of participatory design, systems mapping, and creative facilitation, the design of this gathering created space for connection, alignment and action.
The following outcomes were achieved:
Surfaced key directions of travel for LSI’s work, vis-a-vis 2025 portfolio planning and Luminate’s evolved strategic framework.
Identified key insights and lessons to share with other Luminate teams.
Identified shared values, and ways to strengthen integration and collaboration.
