Podcast 16: Hoe kan technologie een rol spelen om onze empathie voor elkaar te vergroten?

We talked about living in our own bubbles in the previous episode. Oppositions in society seem to be getting bigger and bigger. But if we stop having real conversations with each other; how do we reach a solution together? Civinc designed a chat application that allows participants with opposing views or perspectives to engage in anonymous, constructive one-to-one discussions. Liesbeth Bonekamp, designer and co-initiator of Bubble Games developed a VR movie that creates more empathy between us/side groups. Shay Raviv talks about inclusivity as a process of ‘learning and unlearning’, from her role as creative leader of the Embassy of Inclusive Society.

Please note this podcast is in Dutch.
