Every 2nd Monday of the month, these critical reflection encounters propose to address topics related to the digital (e.g. algorithms, surveillance capitalism, ecological impacts, etc.) and to explore alternative ways of doing things (discovery of free and ethical tools, de-gluing of smartphones, protection of communications, etc.).

These evenings take place in two parts: at 6:30 pm, there is a presentation followed by a discussion or a thematic workshop. Don’t hesitate to send your suggestions at: info@ateliers-dk.be
The presentations are held in French.
