Who's afraid of emotions? From helplessness to impactful activism
This workshop aims to equip techies and activists with some understanding to recognize and address emotional concerns in the context of digital rights. Together, let’s cultivate a flourishing community that prioritizes well-being and empowerment in the face of technology-driven challenges.
Join us for an engaging and transformative workshop designed specifically for techies and digital rights activists. In an era increasingly defined by surveillance and technological risks, it's essential to address the emotional toll these challenges take on our community and beyond.
During this interactive session, participants will:
Reflect Together: Engage in a moment of introspection and heartfelt group discussions about the emotions surrounding surveillance, technology, and associated risks. Learn to actively listen and share your experiences in a supportive environment where your feelings are validated.
Brainstorm Solutions: Explore ways our communities can provide more support to their members and be generous towards a broader audience, particularly those unfamiliar with digital rights issues. Learn how to communicate effectively about these feelings and provide alternatives and resources for those feeling overwhelmed.
Experience Safe Spaces: Throughout the workshop, we will create an emotionally safe space that allows participants to experience firsthand what a supportive environment feels like. This is not just a theoretical exercise, but a practice in fostering community resilience and mutual care.
Additionally, participants will receive comprehensive material to help them easily reproduce this workshop in their own communities. With these tools, you'll be empowered to extend the conversation and emotional support to others who share similar feelings about the challenges posed by technology.

Free/libre software promotes users' rights, safeguards privacy, individual control over technology and fosters autonomy and decentralisation within our communities. In contrast, proprietary software limits user freedoms leading to centralised monopolies that often misuse their power to oppress and exploit. This imbalance can result in malware, degradation of privacy and service enshitification. Unfortunately, many remain unaware of the unjustices created by proprietary software, but increased ...
