The challenges of digital technology: understand to choose, choose to act

Digital technology runs through the daily life of non-profits and cooperatives: from managing member and public data to how you communicate, organize, and showcase your work.

Why these workshops?

Digital technology is never neutral: it involves choices that impact our data, our autonomy, our relationship with the public, and our environment.

Non-profits experience this every day. They know they need to do "something" about their digital practices, but don't necessarily have the time to look into it, or the knowledge to start a transition.

That's why we offer two complementary workshops that guide teams from awareness of digital issues to concrete action.

Illustration: a person climbs a ladder resting on a pile of books to reach the screen of a large digital device.

Two complementary workshops

The first workshop takes stock, the second drives action. They follow one another and form a coherent journey.

My non-profit's digital environment: understand to choose

Workshop 1 · 3 hours · On-site

  • What are the social, ethical, and environmental challenges linked to digital technology?
  • Where do I stand, where does my organization stand, when it comes to our tools, our practices, our data, our values, and the inclusion of the people we serve?
  • What actions can I and my organization explore?

Taking back control of our digital technology: choose to act

Workshop 2 · 3 hours · On-site

  • What is the real cost of "free"? What open-source alternatives already exist? What are the best practices regarding our data?
  • How should we position ourselves regarding the use of AI?
  • Drawing up a roadmap for what comes next.

The goals of these workshops

Take the time to question, demystify, and reflect together, moving from the feeling of "enduring" digital technology to that of being able to act, in line with each organization's values and mission.

You will leave with

  • A clear understanding of your personal relationship with digital technology and that of your organization.
  • Concrete, realistic actions already started during these workshops.
  • Alternative approaches for using digital technology differently, at your own pace.
  • Reusable tools to share with your team: alternative digital tools, a draft AI usage charter, memo sheets, and a roadmap.
  • The ability to choose rather than endure: deciding consciously which tool to keep, which to replace, and why.
  • Exchanges of experience and a shared perspective with other organizations, without judgment.

Who is this for?

These two workshops are for teams (non-profits, cooperatives, etc.) who feel distant from these issues, but who know it is possible to move toward digital technology that is more ethical, restrained, and "eco-responsible."

Format?

2 on-site workshops of 3 hours each.
