Migrant Youth Political Participation Training

We believe in meaningful political participation of refugees, migrants and people of migrant backgrounds. This training for young people under the age of 30 is about how to use the avenues for participation that are already available, and how we can work together to expand political rights for everyone living in our countries. It will build on different experiences of political activism in different parts of Europe, ranging from campaigning and protest to running for election.

This training is organised together with Greek Forum of Refugees and open to all on registration (limited number of places).

Digital Borders: a citizens assembly on Migration, border control and new technologies

Panel debates & assemblies. With Dina Ntziora, Athens Comics Library, We are community, Greek Forum of Migrants (GFM), Digital Commons Conference.

Migration control globally is increasingly trialing AI-enhanced policing technologies which are elsewhere illegal, from surveillance in frontiers to ICE facial tracking. In the 7th assembly of the Digital Democratic Commons, we will question how digital infrastructure has created borders instead of connections in both online & physical realities – and how we can reimagine a real world wide web.

Children activities available throughout the day and side workshops.
