Learn to build tools that remove borders – geographic, cultural, and technological – as barriers to communication. This session will be led by a team of migrant workers, advocates, and designers who co-designed Contratados.org, a transmedia project to help migrant workers defend their rights in the transnational labor recruitment and employment process. The team will share experiences and lead participants through hands-on, co-design activities. You will go home with new strategies to address challenges facing your community.
