CARE LAB: Memory. Identity. Belonging for those living between cultures

header image workshop

What does belonging look like when your life unfolds across countries, languages, and cultural codes?

In February 2026, we are hosting Care Lab: Memory, Identity & Belonging Between Cultures — a 4-hour participatory workshop as part of the FFG-funded shrine research project, in collaboration with Fremde Werden Freunde.

This workshop is for adults whose lives are shaped by migration, multilingualism, or long-term movement between places.

We will explore:

  • how memory shapes identity
  • what gets preserved and what gets lost
  • how belonging forms, fractures, and reforms over time
  • what meaningful support actually feels like

Small groups. Guided exercises. Intimate setting.
20 spots only. Free participation. Confidential.

If you live between cultures and want your experience to shape future research, join us!

Workshop | Memory as Infrastructure: Designing Responsible Technology for People Living Between Cultures (EN)

This participatory workshop will be held in English during the CIMIx conference 2026.

It brings together people living between cultures – through migration, multilingual lives, or constant movement between places – who work in creativity, technology, or innovation. It explores how memory, identity, and belonging influence design decisions when technology engages with sensitive human experiences.

Through guided reflection and structured group work, participants will examine where technology can support meaning-making, where it risks overstepping, and where restraint is essential. The workshop applies a research-driven process developed during the creation of Shrine.

Participants co-create a Design Compass: a practical set of principles to guide decision-making in projects dealing with memory, identity, and inner experience.
