UX Folks - Designing Culture in the Time of Corona, Rituals For Virtual Interactions

UX Folks is an event series & educational partner of Interaction-Design.org. It's made with user-centered, content-driven Lego bricks. We curate our events with the units already defined by analyzing audience needs and sparks from the local scene.

How do we connect and create when we are far apart in the time of corona? How do we design a culture that brings out the best in our personal and professional lives? 

Rituals are powerful tools for building a culture that better aligns your values and priorities with your everyday practices. Our work shows how rituals help people bridge transitions, get to flow, deal with conflict, and increase bonding.

In this session, we’ll share some of the insights from our work, and scope out some culture experiments to run in corona times — harnessing the patterns of rituals to think about lightweight, bottom-up ways to build better ways of meaning-making. (The event will be in English)
