Building Rapport and Inclusiveness

Integrating new technologies like AI into our daily lives and work is not a new concept. In our Reach School sessions in 2024, we have engaged in multiple conversations about AI. We believe it is our responsibility to understand what efforts are needed to create meaningful, positive, and humane ways of utilizing AI, around the world.

The Reach network invited reflection, sharing, and connection through A Field Researcher’s “Guide” to Field Research–a collection of stories of decisions, pivots, and instincts that often go unnoticed, offering space to revisit and learn from them. Bringing together diverse perspectives sparks new insights, surfaces memories, and deepens understanding of ourselves as researchers. How can these shared stories continue to guide the way we work in the field?

All studios in the Reach Network love to share knowledge. We regularly develop toolkits for a diverse range of clients. In this session, we discussed the challenges and impact of those toolkits.
