The Good, The Bad, and The Biased

Emma Lilliestam

Hanna Schlander

13:30-17:00 CEST Tuesday 7th June

Why did I do that? Why did I react so strongly?

You’re biased, we all are! Biases affect our everyday lives, both at work and at home. By learning more about them we can expand our view, shape our minds and improve our testing abilities!

In our interactive workshop, we will explore the world of biases together. How does the brain work? Why do biases exist, and what are the pros and cons of biases?

In the workshop you will learn about two thinking systems in the brain, and four categories of biases.

We will let the attendees deep dive into biases in groups and discuss a selection of our favorite biases, andpresent their findings to the group.

Together we will improve on our knowledge of biases and expand our minds!

What you will learn

  1. A deeper understanding of biases and the brain
  2. New tools for detecting and correcting maladaptive biases.
  3. An understanding and appreciation for the biases that serve you well
