The conference took place om March 22nd 2013 at the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Berlin.

Conference programme: The spread of digital technologies has given new opportunities to activists around the world. At the same time they can also be the cause of new threats to activists and people using digital media for political communication or mobilization. Successful political action and political action requires knowledge of digital technologies and social media, as well as skills in communication strategies and creative forms to express a message.

Together with our main partners Digitale Gesellschaft e.V., Reporters without Borders e.V. and Mädchenmannschaft we will attempt to answer the question: «What are the tools and trends, the opportunities and challenges for activism in 2013?» both on a theoretical and practical level and also both online and offline. A one day conference will deal with the central issues of online and offline activism in 2013 as well as introduce the current debate on the three main issues:
- Human Rights and Freedom of Expression
- Internet Freedom vs. Regulation
- Gender Democracy, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation
