Funded by UKRI Innovate UK, EtiKits are for organizations, industry, academic consortia, and research projects to conduct collaborative and creative ethical impact assessment. 

Etikits are tools and processes that mobilise IsITethical frameworks and are tailored to the context of the consultancy. They have been particularly successful at allowing remote collaboration beyond screen-based platforms. 

Some of the kits included props for performance, collaborative scenario building, online and offline card games, strategic boardgames, tools for speculating and anticipating futures that technology creates, as ways to playfully assess criteria. 

We have travelled all over Europe with PSCE testing different kits, and now have a collection of EtiKits designed for different domains: Health Big Data, Education, Public Safety Communication, Transport Innovation, EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) Impact Assessment, Forced Displacement, Social Innovation and Training and Capacity Building. We can re-use or we can design anew according to the project needs. Please contact us if this interests you, as this is our favorite thing to do!
