Whether you will be attending online or in person, we want to bring your attention to a film that might spark some interesting discussions at CHIWORK and is relevant to Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We highly recommend watching the film “Sorry We Missed You<\/strong>” by acclaimed director Ken Loach before attending our conference. Set in the North East of England, with actors using the typical Geordie<\/a> accent, the film offers a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the challenges faced by modern workers, particularly in the gig economy. Loach’s portrayal of a family grappling with precarious employment and the impact it has on their lives offers invaluable insights into the future of work. It prompts crucial discussions about labour rights, technology’s role in the workplace, and the human side of the ever-evolving employment landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an era of increasing automation and digitization, the themes explored in “Sorry We Missed You” resonate deeply with discussions about the future of work and human-computer interaction. We encourage you to watch “Sorry We Missed You” and come prepared to engage in conversations about its themes during the conference. It can also be a great conversation starter if you are new to the CHIWORK community and find it hard to network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
