Regular Disruptions
During the year, we connect with Berlin-based activists, communities and initiatives to share skills and create new tools to fight digital injustice. In regular meetups around our main events we invite you to join us and hear from others how they are working on social, political and cultural change in the fields of our conference topics.
Everyone interested is welcome to provide their input to our ongoing activities and research: our meetups are a mixture of open discussions, workshops and input presentations. They provide you the opportunity to get involved with our topics before each conference, dive deeper into it after the event itself, and to connect with each other on a regular basis.
The first Regular Disruption meetup of 2023 was developed together with Cassie Thornton.
