The city of Barcelona will host the first international meeting for digital rights in May. The event will consist of an open forum to understand and debate, in a clear and accessible way, the challenges of the digital environment. Promoted by the Observatory of Digital Rights, which has more than 150 involved entities and more than 360 experts involved, the conference will take place on Wednesday, May 13 and Thursday, May 14 at the Llotja de Mar, located at Passeig d'Isabel II, number 1, floor 2, in the city of Barcelona. The event will place at the center of the debate the rights of citizens in areas such as, for example, cybersecurity; digital expression and participation; digital identity and privacy; artificial intelligence, and youth and digital protection. The aim of the first international meeting for digital rights will be to create, energize and promote a space to move towards a fairer, safer and more responsible digital environment.
Specifically, the auditorium will become the central space where essential debates, strategic visions and decisive conversations that will have a global impact on the present and future of digital rights will take place. Similarly, there will be practical workshops that will aim to be participatory and educational spaces where attendees can apply, debate and experience the principles of digital rights from an experiential approach. Likewise, there will be participatory and fresh spaces to exchange ideas in an agile and dynamic format where emerging voices, innovation experiences, digital activism and young talent will coexist. There will also be a call for initiatives to collect experiential stories, personal experiences and real testimonies that will illustrate how digital rights affect people's daily lives. Along these lines, the Digital Rights Observatory has made progress in the development of a digital rights charter, which currently has six basic principles: freedom, protection and digital security; equality in the digital sphere; participation in the digital environment; digital labor and business rights; rights to new digital environments, and, finally, other digital rights.
