 lobal community dedicated to connecting researchers across cultures and ge
 ographies in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Since its ince
 ption in 2016 at CHI\, the HCIxB community has fostered collaboration and 
 mentorship\, especially supporting early career researchers [1\,2\,3\,4]. 
 This year at ICTD 2024\, we will gather to explore and discuss the applica
 tion of Aspirations theory in ICTD.\n\nAspirations are long-term desires t
 hat aim to transcend one’s current situation\, acting as powerful motiva
 tors for marginalized communities to overcome adversity. Researchers in IC
 TD have increasingly adopted aspirations theory\, designing technology tha
 t supports users’ aspirations in contexts of socio-economic change. This
  workshop will discuss these themes within HCI4D\, where aspirations have 
 broad applications\, from mental health and healthcare to education and ac
 cessibility.\n\nWe seek abstracts discussing how aspirations theory has in
 fluenced research\, practice\, or education within ICTD. This is a chance 
 to share your experiences and contribute to a growing dialogue around aspi
 rations and solidarity in challenging socio-economic contexts. Please subm
 it an abstract (optional) if you are interested in joining\n\nQuestions to
  guide Your Submission:\n\n 	How does aspirations theory apply to your wor
 k?\n 	What new opportunities has this theory opened up for you?\n 	What as
 pects of the theory resonate with your approach?\n 	Are there elements of 
 aspirations theory you find challenging or disagree with?\n\nWorkshop Stru
 cture\n\nThe workshop will be conducted in two 90-minute hybrid sessions o
 n December 11th\, combining presentations\, discussions\, and group activi
 ties.\n\nOrganizers\n\n 	David Nkundineza – Carnegie Mellon University A
