CROSSING VIEWPOINTS, EXPERTISES AND EXPERIENCES

The Algora is a discussion tool to understand the desired, unexpected and unwelcome impacts of an existing and running algorithm, and to act upon it.

Designed to be used over the course of a collective workshop, the Algora facilitates communication between different profiles (decision-makers, designers, developers, civil servants, users).

Through a conversation cards deck, each participant is invited to express their point of view and to confront it with the others’ realities. The objective of the game is to collectively identify what the discussed algorithm actually produces.

THE ALGORA PLAYFUL KIT INCLUDES:

A deck of 40 discussion cards
Synthesis and action boards
Resources for facilitation
A version for online workshops

The Algora is available in print-and-play format.

The Algora is only available in French for now. If you are willing to help in translating this toolkit in English, please contact us.
