💙Workshop Background💙

 

📍Today, we are living in a divided society than ever.📍Internet🌎and recommendation algorithms🤖have opened a world where individuals can find and enjoy content🎬that fits their tastes. However, the development of individualism has gone beyond the positive effects✅of respecting diversity, and has created new problems of social conflict and disconnection of relationships.

 

A divided society is not just a problem in Korea. Many experts diagnose that the world is in a polycrisis🚨around COVID-19. Numerous social disconnections and conflicts are leading us to a 'divided society🚷' such as political polarization🤬, gender conflict🚹🚺, gap between the rich and the poor💸️, regional imbalance🏗️, intergenerational disconnection🧑‍🧑‍🧒climate crisis⛈️, and neighbor disconnection🏚️.

 

How should we overcome a divided society? ICISTS wants to📍find new ideas💡from students👩‍🏫that can bring a divided society back together through Hackafair 2024.📍ICISTS Hackafair 2024 holds is a workshop where you can freely present ideas on resolving social conflicts/disconnections such as device📱, policy📝, transportation🚄, and building🏗️ and present the results to various companies, institutions, and citizens!🎉
