+ The Event
+The Day of Digital Freedom is an event organized by the Chaos community and takes place for the third + time in a row in Tübingen.
+At the event, freaks, artists, utopians, and simply curious people come together to learn from and with + each other. What connects us all is the open exchange about creativity, beauty, our society, technology, + and its impact on us and the rapidly advancing climate crisis.
+The ChaosTreff Tübingen is still relatively young and is in the process of building and maintaining a + community. Their shared values are to create a space together and non-commercially where one can learn + from each other, unfold, and organize. This should also serve as a forum for the exchange of related + groups and individuals.
+The Day of Digital Freedom is there to realize this utopia. If you share our values and ethics and want to help, you are cordially invited.

+ +Submission guidelines
+ +Please provide us with a meaningful, as complete as possible, but not excessively long description of your + planned presentation/workshop via the web interface. Your description has a major impact on the selection + and, if accepted, also on your audience. So please engage intensively with your description before + submitting it.
+ +It is not useful to submit company or product propaganda, not even covertly. Marketing and sales droids + will be ruthlessly filtered out without a trace. We want to create a non-commercial event.
+ +Presentations can be either 20 minutes (plus questions) or 45 minutes (plus questions). Workshops can be + selected in the interface for 45 minutes. If you wish for different lengths, let us know by simply entering that information in the + notes field.
+ +Tracks
+ +You can classify your contributions into the following topics / also expect additional content.
+ +Creativity & Beauty
+ +The quote "you can create art and beauty with a computer" from Steven Levis' Hacker Ethics (1984) is the + guiding principle for this track. We look forward to submissions that combine performing or visual arts + with themes and techniques of the digital world and the ideas of hacker culture.
+ +Ethics, Politics & Society
+ +The track examines the ethical, political, and social consequences of technology that affect our lives. It + is about constructive and encouraging contributions on how to counteract the general feeling of powerlessness + that arises from current trends such as the decline of democracy, climate crisis, and wars.
+ +Hardware & Code
+ +We surround ourselves with things that we (seemingly) cannot understand, open, repair, or even manufacture. + It doesn't have to be that way. We can be "makers" and learn how to make and modify things, understand + and program them. We look forward to contributions that show how we can empower ourselves with + technology.
+ +Digitality & (Media) Literacy
+ +This track is about the ability to critically understand digital technologies and media, to use them + responsibly, and to navigate safely in the digital world. Contributions on media literacy, data protection, + cyber security, critical thinking, and ethics in the digital context are welcome.
+ +Diversity & Mindfulness
+ +People are different. There are forms of diversity that we culturally accept or don't even perceive. It + becomes problematic when individuals or groups are excluded or harmed, whether because of their origin, + sexual orientation and identity, or the way their brains work. How can we develop a perception of diversity + and a positive approach to it in the digital world.
+ +Sustainability & Climate Justice
+ +This track welcomes all submissions that critically examine the design and use of technology in the current + context of global ecological injustice and the collapse of ecosystems. We look forward to contributions + that strive for and promote a sustainable, just, and democratic digital future.
+ + +Elves
+In addition to the content, the event also lives on the help of nice and helpful elves.
+Some helping hands are needed behind the scenes as well as in front of the stage.
+The tasks are divided into 2.5-hour shifts, and all helpers receive free non-alcoholic drinks and food in + the Elf Grove.
