Hardly anyone in Europe can imagine a life without democracy, and yet it stands on shaky legs. #FridaysForFuture, Save the Internet and the Yellow Vests: many citizens carry their dissatisfaction with political decisions on the one hand and demands for more say on the other into the Net and onto the streets. An inclusive, empowering Internet continues to be an important source of hope. The digitisation of citizenships is also discussed. Do they allow us new forms of participation and thus strengthen European democracy? Or do we risk restrictions through the loss of our anonymity and manipulation possibilities of online elections? Shortly before the European elections, the Digital Salon would like to present opportunities and consequences for discussion.
A registration for Digitaler Salon is not required.

Every last Wednesday of the month our guests answer questions about the networked present. In our discussion series, we shed light on network phenomena, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of technical changes and provide food for thought. Share your opinion before, during and after the broadcast directly on our website, via social media or by postcard. The Digital Salon is organised by the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society and produced by the Kooperative Berlin.
