# Workshop Structure To begin with we will introduce you to the Data Hazard labels and what a workshop would usually look like. This includes the _ethos_ of a workshop, which focusses on the importance of multiple perspectives. ## Workshop roles Facilitators: - Probably you! - There to run the workshop and help everyone get the most out of it.   - This involves managing each of the breakout rooms and supporting the discussions. Audience Members: - There to find out more about the projects and provide feedback. - Combination of different types of people. - Your decision about whether they are ‘experts’ or not (both can be interesting!) See more about who to invite in the 'Identifying your audience' section. Project Owners: - There to have their project discussed by the audience members. - Seeking feedback on an idea or project. See more about how to support project owners in the 'Working with project owners' section. ## Timings We use the following timings for the Data Hazard workshop, it lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. The workshops use a version of a technique from social work known as ['The Reflective Team'](https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-319-15877-8_324-1). This is designed to help ensure that both the audience and the project owner get an opportunity to speak and listen. - 5 mins: Housekeeping - 20 mins: Data Hazards intro: - what are the data hazard labels? - why? - case study - 45 mins: Project discussion in smaller groups using the reflective team exercise: - 5 minute project presentation - what's the project and who is involved? - what are it's aims? - what data and methods does it use? - what are it's potential applications (if any)? - 1 minute audience thinking time - 5 minutes audience asks clarifying questions to the project owner - Audience will ask factual questions only, e.g. a good question “What does the training data look like?” A bad question “Do you think your work is biased?” - Project owner will answer factually only. - 5 minutes filling out form (what hazard labels apply) before discussion - 20 minutes discussion (project owner listens without speaking) - 2 minutes fill in hazards again - 5 minutes: project owner speaks while the audience are quiet, saying: - What from the discussion resonated the most with them - What resonated least with them - 10 mins: (Back in the main room) Collecting feedback and wrapping up. ## Workshop Ethos We think it's important that the workshops are run with the following things in mind: - Multiplicity of perspectives​ - Everyone has different lived experiences and as a result different views​ - These views us to find importance in different places - Only by considering a range of perspectives can we thoroughly consider ethics. - No ‘wrong’ answers - We are aiming to explore potential avenues of interest that might not have occured to the project owner. - Aiming to prompt discussion and thought, not to settle on yes/no decisions
