Proactive, Collaborative Ethics
isITethical is a value framework and a methodology—Ethics through Design – to push ethical impact assessment beyond the ticking-box exercise and into contextual, collaborative, and creative processes. We have over 8 years of co-creating applied ethics with private, public and community sectors globally.
Mission
We support communities, projects, and organisations to develop their own ethical frameworks specific to their objectives, environment, and needs. We build capacity, we design tools for collaboration, we have a systemic and pluriversal view, and we open spaces for ethical anticipation.
Vision
Our work taps into the power of interconnected transition actions for a world caring for societal and planetary justice.
Values
We believe in moving beyond ethical values towards response-able conduct at the intersections of four dimensions:
- Expertise – socio-technical and designerly
- Political – focusing on power inequalities
- Spiritual – considered as energy exchange
- Embodied – thinking-feeling with our bodies and Other ways of Knowing.
- Playful – pleasurable, laughable, illogical, silly
* Ultimately, the optimal leverage point of any system is within ourselves; the change can only start from each of us.
