Help
A conference is a collection of meetings arranged in a programme, with a number of people invited as speakers, and other information fields typical of large congresses or social events (registration, list of organisations that support or sponsor the event, etc.).
Examples: A conference can be a relevant event for an organization and its members, or take place as part of a participatory process or follow a consultation.
Introduction
Taking over from the first Global Digital Justice project promoted by Oxfam Intermón and the Barcelona City Council's Directorate of Global Justice, a second phase of this initiative was developed during the last few months of this year. In this case, the common thread of the actions carried out in Bolivia, El Salvador, Spain and Tunisia has been the impact on democracy and coexistence of the discourse disseminated through social networks. Emphasis has been placed on the capacity of the digital environment to condition democratic participation or co-opt political processes and to erode social coexistence in diversity through attacks and the denial of rights to minoritised or marginalised groups or sectors of the population, from the LGBTQIA+ community to the migrant population, including women's rights, and so on.
This central event is the moment to share these experiences and strengthen them with other voices, as well as to generate connections between actors that can reinforce strategies for change.
