Digital Self-Defense to Participate in Cologne-Ehrenfeld
How can personal data be better protected? What free programs and independent alternatives exist to large IT corporations? The open workshop for digital competence and sovereignty invites you to the district library of Ehrenfeld on November 5, 2026. Participation is free and is aimed at people who want to understand digital contexts, try out practical solutions, and share experiences with each other.
Help for Self-Help in Digital Everyday Life
The focus is on concrete steps towards greater digital independence. Participants will deal with tracking blockers, free software, alternative search engines, as well as free operating systems and social networks. Abstract data protection issues become a tangible event experience with practical suggestions for smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
Try Out, Discuss, and Learn Together
The atmosphere of the open workshop thrives on exchange. Personal questions and experiences are just as integrated as new perspectives on digital self-determination. The event from the Digital Workshop series combines media-pedagogical orientation with practical support and addresses both curious newcomers and already experienced users.
Event Planning and Important Notes
The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the district library of Ehrenfeld. For practical work, it is advisable to bring your own device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop.
