Sobhi Khatib is the freshly appointed coordinator of our new track Systems for Sharing. Some of the most urgent challenges the world faces today are part of complex social systems. and include inequality, racism, social isolation, health hazards and climate change. Not to mention that billions of people are often still unable to meet their basic needs for food, water, and housing.
More and more Social Systems communities, organisations, and local governments are taking action to address these challenges by exercising a basic human practice: sharing. By sharing their labour, space, goods, and more, people are overcoming scarcity by building and maintaining vital common resources. They show that sharing can lead everyone to have more, together.
Sobhi will share his thoughts on Diversity. How do we create a workspace that is diverse and inclusive? Why is diversity important? And how diverse is the tech sector, for example?
