Diversity and Inclusion Strategy for Participation/Design Sprint

Background & Purpose

This sprint is a 2 day process, where individuals invested in diversity and inclusion for participation - staff in key areas of the project, community and external subject-area experts come together to D&I experiments we’ll build and run in Q2.

Leveraging the key insights and themes generated during a series of focus groups and 1:1 interviews of the last few weeks, we’ll focus on understanding those themes - sketching & iterating on a variety of possible ideas that we’ll narrow into paper prototypes to help us better understand and prioritize experiments that begin to build a framework for empowering, understanding, measuring and leading a diverse and inclusive community.

This event will bring together key individuals working on D&I inside and outside Mozilla, to design and prototype initiatives that draw on themes and hypothesis gained through the insights phase of our draft for strategy - Both qualitative and quantitative research.

For all attending we will be reaching out to ask the following questions:

• What do you hope to get out of this design sprint? For your own work & goals? Personally?
• What work are you already doing that might be ideal to test some of our hypothesis for D&I in Participation?
• Which of the focus areas of our research most closely aligns with your own work(or do you have passion for) : Event Design, Participation Design, Regional Leadership or Participation.
• What do you think we should consider in designing sessions, and activities for this sprint?
