UX Folks - Designing Self & Society: Digital Wellbeing

UX Folks is an event series powered by IXDA Istanbul and 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.

"Digital Wellbeing" is a gathering consisting of two successive main sessions to evoke empathy, trigger the desire to question and collectively explore how we might change current experiences around "Positive Design" Framework.
