The "virtual chalet" is a recurring informal event (once every 2 weeks) for the community to take the space & time to discuss, share ideas & experiences, find support, ask questions, etc.

\\n

This week we discuss how cultures & languages shape our understanding of design, how English and a form of US colonialism exist through the profession & its related education. We also talk of UX Design and our relationship to consumerism & capitalism, and the shortcomings of the current forms of design education.
