Social media have heralded unprecedented advantages for society. They have promoted increased interaction, facilitated political exchange and made people feel much more connected to a larger community. But the ease and rapidity with which information spreads in social media has also turned them into a breeding ground for unreliable information and fake news.

PONDER: Critical Media Literacy is a non-formal educational response that expands the notion of literacy to include mass and social media. Youth today are bombarded by a volume of information unthinkable just a few years ago. It is important that they are conscious and aware of the information they encounter and are able to understand it and evaluate it from a critical perspective, so as to challenge indoctrination, anti-social messages, and radicalization.

In this workshop we will discuss some basic game design theories and will make our own analog games using nothing but our imagination. Maximum number of participants: 20. No previous knowledge or material / gear required.

Everybody today talks about private and public cloud services that needs to be deployed in the companies. In regards of compliance, bandwidth and other regulations this is not always possible. The data often needs to reside in the company or in the country. Hybrid Cloud services is the solution for this. We will talk about how to plan and set things up and how to monitor them properly.

This workshop will host 10 participants and requires no gear or prior knowledge to join. It focuses on the team mentality, broken down into roles within the Overwatch universe.

We don't "just read" or “just play games” anymore. We experience stories. Exploring how storytelling can involve our sense of sight, touch, smell and hearing, Saad Chinoy will go deeper into bringing the digital experience into the real world.

Storytelling is a function of the affordances of your devices. Understanding how technology can offer your audience new entry points to your story can help tell it better, but without a story the technology doesn’t carry the same meaning. That is, online and offline, print and digital – working together, these produce the most captivating results.

Whatsapp, Gmail, Google Search - we use these apps and tools because everyone else does, and because... what else is there? This workshop will enable you to think more critically about the tools you use, what questions you should ask, and why the answers matter. You will also be introduced to some alternative chat apps, email, and search tools that allow you more control of your own data. This workshop is suitable for anybody with a laptop, mobile or tablet - no expert knowledge required.
