TOWARDS A COLLABORATIVE DIGITAL WORLD

An in-person workshop for everyone using the internet.

Everything we do online leaves a trace of data that opens vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors.

This workshop covers the basics of digital security: by understanding our digital footprint and the most common online threats, we will learn how to build strategies to feel safer online.

A key strategy for a healthier digital life are open source alternatives – rather than relying on profiting from your data, they are built and sustained by communities. We will cover how these communities work and introduce open source alternatives apps and platforms that you can use on your daily life.

Workshop topics:

• Digital security (privacy | common threats | scam and how to act | encryption)
• Your digital Footprint

• Open Source (basics of the movement and its community vs. free & commercial platforms | why it matters | social and safe networks | Open Source alternatives )

• Practical Part: Experimenting with Open Source alternatives & how to find out if the app is actually Open Source

No previous experience or knowledge is needed.
