Featured Workshops
WORKSHOP TITLE : A GLOBAL ETHICS FOR APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY
organizer: Charles Verharen
Abstract:
This workshop will discuss a set of specific LEED-like ethical principles as a foundation for a global system of ethics for appropriate technology. LEED is the acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The LEED organization offers a green building rating system deployed throughout the world. Modeled on LEED certification, the discussion will start with the ethical principles of the Songhaï ecovillage model developed by Godfrey Nzamujo: autochthony (rooted in the physical and cultural soil of the ecovillage community); autonomy (relying on green energy and excluding chemical fertilizers and pesticides); and authentic (responsible for the survival and flourishing of all community members with outreach to surrounding communities). Building upon these three principles, the workshop will consider their compatibility with the United Nations Declarations of Universal Human Rights. The workshop’s conclusion will discuss whether a LEED-like ethical system for appropriate technology applications should be produced consensually by appropriate technology practitioners. While any given set of ethical principles may be a springboard for reflection, changing global circumstances call for constant revaluation of ethical principles capable of confronting contemporary existential crises such as catastrophic climate change and the sixth mass extinction.
Expected outcomes: Reshaping cultural convictions about the status of ethical foundations.
Discussion Points OR Demonstration Areas:
- Comparison of LEED principles and ethical systems.
- Professor Godfrey Nzamujo's proposed 3 ethical principles.
- Comparison with the Indian Muni Seva Ashram''s ethical principles.
- Examination of the foundations of the United Nations declarations of human rights.
- The possibility of a universal system of ethics for appropriate technology applications.
WORKSHOP TITLE : WORKING WITH UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS TO INFORM TECHNOLOGY GOVERNANCE & POLICYMAKING
Discussion Points OR Demonstration Areas
- Technology is often developed without the circumstances and needs of underrepresented communities in mind.
- Technology policymakers mean well, but sometimes fall short and create policies that disproportionately harm underrepresented communities.
- To properly consider how a particular technology or policy would negatively impact the life experiences of underrepresented communities.
- Diverse Voices accomplishes this by holding three to four expert panels, each with 3 to 6 participants on a mature draft of a policy document or technology.
- Panels that are convened after developing a list of all possible underrepresented groups that might be negatively impacted and finalized after discussion about who is least likely to be represented in conversations.
- Each panel will have a minimum of 2 people with lived-experience in addition to people (for example friends, family, lawyers, community aid workers, etc.) who support their experiences.
- In preparation for panel sessions, short videos and comic strips demonstrating the promise and peril of a technology or class of technologies are identified.
- Panel sessions are recorded, facilitated by two people, and transcribed.
Intended Audience: Policymakers, Technologists, Community Advocates, Government
Additional Information:This is a half-day workshop.
WORKSHOP TITLE: ECOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO FOOD SECURITY AND PEACE IN THE SAHEL FROM THE SMALL HOLDER FARMER UP
- Discussion between farmers and cattle herders which leads to collaboration and peaceful economic co-existence.
- Recommendations on agricultural policy and land use management to government which are environmentally sustainable, support regional economic resilience, increase food security, and minimize existing tensions between key stakeholders.
- Introduction of appropriate technologies which embrace regenerative agriculture, peer-to-peer cooperation, and value-addition for increased financial success.
Discussion Points OR Demonstration Areas:
1.How can appropriate technology knowledge reach rural farmers?
2.Creating value for farm products and getting it to the market
3. Financial opportunities for farmers and how it can be accessed.
4.Agricultural sustainability through forestry recovery.
5. Risk of rain distribution and floods. Water harvesting model.
6. Water harvesting model.
Intended Audience: Stakeholders in the Sahel regional economy (small-holder farmers, cattle herders, commercial-scale farmers, traders, students, financial institutions, and government policy makers).
Additional Information: This workshop will be hosted virtually for two days prior to the in-person/hybrid workshop.
WORKSHOP TITLE : 3D Printing Fundamentals: Getting Started on Printer Configuration, Troubleshooting, and CAD file to Object Steps
