Decolonise The Internet

During its inception, the internet was seen as a vital instrument for democracy and equality. In 2020, amidst a global pandemic and racial inequalities that are very much still alive, it is time to ask: Whose stories are told and who is telling these stories on the internet? And how do Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms and Bots shape our view of the world and perpetuate racisms? This is where the new Goethe-Institut project "Decolonise The Internet" sees its core.

Grüne Bibliotheken

„Wir müssen auf die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen reagieren“

Mehr als nur ein Platz für Leseratten: Hat die Bücherei der Zukunft Gemüsebeete auf dem Dach und ein Repair-Café im Keller? Tim Schumann, Mitarbeiter der Heinrich-Böll-Bibliothek in Berlin-Pankow und Mitgründer des „Netzwerk Grüne Bibliotheken“, erklärt, warum öffentliche Bibliotheken ihre Rolle neu definieren müssen.
