Abstract

We designed a data-driven workshop program to encourage ownership to social challenges. Three different social challenges were the themes of the workshops; “future food,” “future community child-rearing,” and “future work style”. In each workshop, both statistical and video data were provided. Participants were asked to answer questionnaires before and after the workshops to measure how much ownership was encouraged. The results confirmed that the proposed workshops encourage ownership regardless of the theme, indicating that the effectiveness of the workshops is versatile. The workshop also provided several findings to increase the effectiveness of the workshop. For example, even small numerical changes should include statistical data to show that changes are taking place. We have found that using such data to engage in dialogue about the future with a diverse group of people can better facilitate ownership of social challenges.
