Come by bike: we have monitored, free parking with Cyclolock!
During the congress, we’ll address 6 themes organized into two main groups: the impact of supply chains and the lifecycles of electronics on the Global South, and the alternatives to monopolistic and private telecommunications structures and technological sovereignty. Below are a series of infographics on each of the themes addressed by the panels with the participation of experts:
– The dangerous extraction of minerals in the DR Congo.
– The violation of working rights in factories.
– Programmed obsolescence and landfills.
