Digital freedom isn't just for techies. It's for everyone.
​Join us for a hands-on workshop where you will learn how to adopt Europe-made and/or open-source day-to-day applications to gain independence from big tech providers.
​Concretely:
​Understand which Europe-made or open-source applications exist in the market for email, calendar, chat, browser, search engine, operating system, etc.
​Step-by-step instructions on how to install and configure. You choose which apps you feel comfortable testing!
​Agenda
​Welcome & Introduction (10min)
​Short documentary on Digital Sovereignty (10min)
​Hands-on workshop (90min)
​Together, we can move away from surveillance platforms toward open-source and privacy-friendly alternatives.
​Europe's digital future depends on choices we make today and it starts with the tools on your phone and computer.
​Inspired by Ghent’s Digital Sovereignty movement
​Inspired by FOSS workshops that have been thriving in Ghent, this event brings hands-on guidance to help you make the switch, step by step, at your own pace.
​What to bring
​Preferably: Laptop.
​Optional: Phone or tablet & USB Stick (8GB)
​We will work with all types of applications (email, calendar, chat, browser, search engine, operating system, etc.) but you choose the ones you would like to adopt!
