✨ Join us on March 14th for a very special edition of the Think & Drink in collaboration with AGIR, during the 22nd edition of The Geneva International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH).

Technology, with its remarkable advancements, from shaping new modes of communication to fostering artificial intelligence, now stands at the core of our societies. However, despite its enabling progress, technology acts as a reflective mirror, showcasing the prevailing inequalities in contemporary society — be it in terms of gender, class, or the global north-south divide. How can we champion greater accessibility to technology and recenter it around community values? Join us for an enriching evening, grab a complimentary drink, and delve into a nuanced discussion with our guest Shimonah Mohan from UNIDIR!
