Digital Literacy
What skills do we need to successfully navigate in a digitised world?
Digital technologies accompany us from mornings on bus rides to evenings into our beds. Only a simple mouse-click away and we are able to order anything at any time to our homes, which bears the potential to fall into debt more easily. How do I accss information on the internet without unintentionally revealing sensitive information about myself? The use of digital technologies requires appropriate skills, these include not only technical knowledge, such as using a digital service, but also the awareness about risks and the ability to process information. For example, how do we know what information on the web is true or false? And how do we know which sources are trustworthy and which aren't?
AI Workshop Dubendorf
Participatory design of an AI workshop for educational institutions
Together for a successful learning experience. With the workshop "AI in education - an interactive, critical discussion", developed together with the Dübendorf primary school, educational institutions are enabled to actively participate in the discourse around generative artificial intelligence, to recognise challenges and to develop strategies for dealing with these tools in the context of education.

Core Competencies for Digital-Opinion Forming
How we form our opinions today is subject to the influence of analogue, but also digital sources. While we usually master the use of the former due to our education and intuition, the necessary skills in dealing with digital information are often insufficiently developed. The Digital Literacy Project teaches skills in a playful and immersive way for a safer opinion making in the digital space.

Bytes & Bridges: How is Digitalisation Changing a City?
Digital technologies have long been integrated into our everyday lives, promising efficiency and seamless processes. We often notice them only when disruptions occur, yet they continuously influence how we live together and shape our political system. The audio walk through Basel, developed and produced by Dezentrum, explores this impact across seven stations, making the pervasive presence of digitalisation in daily life visible.
