Topics of interest:
It is expected that the participants joining this workshop do care about the environment and are seriously concerned about the plastic waste and have a passion for blockchain technology to solve real-world problems. This workshop will enable participants to
Identify the challenges for adapting the blockchain technologies and how different policies may facilitate this adaptation process?
Realise the great danger materials like plastic usage brings to the sustainability of the only habitable planet.
Conceptualize schemes of capturing material use on individual level and awareness methods.
Design and evaluate blockchain-based social enterprise solutions to curb these dangers and encourage non-plastic lifestyle for citizens by incentivising good behaviour and gamifying the reward system on blockchain.
Consider the social, legislative and technical challenges to build and scale the solution on a global level.
We aim to create an environment for the likeminded people where they can come together and validate their ideas in a friendly and collaborative way. This multidisciplinary workshop provides us with a perfect opportunity to gather exceptional talent from multiple countries with different social norms and technical infrastructures, pose critical and important questions, and seek potentially life changing solutions. All activities will be designed so that participants can join virtually. We will utilise online collaboration tools like Kahoot for opinion capture, Padlets for user stories and Microsoft whiteboard for solution design.
