Meet activists from many different EU countries at the FNF 2024 barcamp! We want to share our experiences and ideas, inspire each other and discuss how to achieve a more just and sustainable digital Europe. The barcamp is driven by the people who attend it. It is possible and encouraged to propose a session at FNF24 – some of the best sessions emerge spontaneously from conversations during a break or networking evening, but if you already have an idea we encourage you to preregister your session with us, because this makes planning easier for us and you can request a specific day if you are not able to join the whole weekend.
Preregistrations were open until the 28th of October, but you can still use the form and indicate your planned session and tech-needs on site. We will occasionally review the form. If you have urgent questions get in touch by e-mail!
There are different types of sessions. Pick one that suits you best at

Update: Sessions are 50 minutes long. There will be a dedicated timeslot for lightning-talks (5 minutes each) or short sessions (30 minutes) again.
Sessions are typically 1 hour long. However, if there is interest, we will offer a dedicated timeslot for lighting-talks/short presentations again. If you want to do something shorter, please indicate it in the linked session proposal form above.
Examples of sessions in the past included:
- Presenting information: Speaker(s) present a topic to raise awareness and call for action. At some point the session shifts from presentation to Q&A and discussion. (e.g. presentation on ongoing or upcoming legislation in the EU, how it could affect digital rights and what to do about it)
- Workshop: Session convener(s) present a questions / digital rights issue and facilitate an interactive discussion among participants. (e.g. brainstorm on how to engage specific stakeholders on a topic, mapping shared knowledge an ideas, finding ways to mobilise and take action, identify gaps and needs for dealing with an issue)
- Action: Session convener(s) with a specific topic / idea / strategy looking for allies to take action together. Such a session could focus on a skill-share to empower other participants to replicate the idea, collaborate to fine-tune details of the action or discuss how to adapt it to the different wider social contexts that the different activists are situated in. (e.g. prepare coordinated social media action and postings, draft freedom of information requests and map targets, contact different relevant data protection authorities)
We are looking forward to your sessions at FNF 2024!
