NOW WHAT, SO WHAT, WHAT’S NEXT? By this report’s publication date (late 2020), several Shift Lab-driven prototypes will be in various stages of execution, including: • The Anti-Racism Box, the first of which will have been received by more than 1,000 subscribers. ECF funded another 1,000 in August and so 2,000 boxes will be out in Alberta and beyond by the fall. Plans are underway for three more boxes as part of the continuous learning subscription. • The Treaty 6 awareness game, “Exploring Wahkotowin,” which will have completed an initial round of play-testing • The De-Escalators brochure, will be distributed to at least one participating Edmonton public high school in the fall • The Reflection Pool App, which will move from wireframe to development status All four will join “Diversity Certified”, a prototype from Shift Lab 1.0, which will be in piloting stage in 2020, due to a grant from the Alberta Real Estate Foundation and a partnership with E4C, a local housing, community and social services organization in Edmonton. Each prototype will require support (financial, organizational, promotional) from community partners to move them towards successful piloting and scaling.
