The Global Gathering format is co-designed with our global community - representative of different disciplines, backgrounds and regions - who value collaborative, bottom-up, and joyful approaches. This year we are giving participants the opportunity to host two types of activities - Circles and Booths - that address one of the 2024 event’s four tracks: Ecosystem Wellbeing; Circumvention Technologies; Security, Threats and Risks; and Digital Rights 2050. The format of this year’s activities was chosen to enhance creativity and inspire an authentic exchange of ideas.
