Ida Online Training: Start your Journey in Equitable Design

Reimagine your design practice. Build fairer systems. Create lasting impact.

Join us for a powerful 2.5-hour online training designed to equip you with the tools, language and confidence to embed equity and inclusion into your technology design practice.

What You’ll Learn:

In this hands-on session, you’ll explore:

  • The biases and barriers baked into the tech industry and how to challenge them.

  • Core equity concepts: privilege, power, belonging, systemic oppression.

  • Practical, adaptable design tools that can be applied immediately in your own work.

You’ll leave with a downloadable toolkit to support your continued learning and application.

What To Expect:

This isn’t your average webinar. It’s an active, engaging training that combines reflection, group conversation, and practical design exercises. Expect:

  • 50% facilitated presentation and discussion

  • 50% hands-on design practice

  • Space to reflect, share, and collaborate

Who It’s For:

This training is perfect for:

  • Tech professionals in R&D, design, product, innovation or strategy

  • Academics, policymakers, non-profit leaders or social entrepreneurs

  • Anyone working with or designing emerging technologies who cares about equity and justice. Whether you've got some experience and want a refresher, or you're new to this area of practice, this course is for you.

Why It Matters:

Tech has the power to transform lives but it can also reinforce existing inequalities. This session offers a practical starting point for doing things differently. It will leave you better equipped to:

  • Build more inclusive cultures, products and services

  • Spot and address systemic bias in your own projects

  • Lead conversations around equity with confidence and clarity

Led By:
