Ethics and Digital Issues.

StudentsTeenagersAdultsCurious minds

Digital isn't neutral. Every technology carries choices, values, consequences.

Who decides what you see online? Why are "free" services never really free? What is the true environmental cost of a streaming video?

This training asks the questions nobody asks. We analyze, debate, argue. We learn to see beyond screens, understand hidden stakes, form an informed opinion. Because in a digital world, thinking for yourself is an act of resistance.

Friends or foes?

Technologies make our lives easier. They also trap us. Filter bubbles, algorithmic bias, digital divide. We dissect how social networks, targeted ads, and shopping platforms influence our choices without us realizing. We learn to see the invisible strings. And decide if we want to cut them.

Surveillance and freedom

Your data is worth gold. And you're giving it away for free. Cookies, apps, voice assistants. We analyze who collects what, why, and what they do with it. Comfort versus privacy: a deal we often accept unknowingly. GDPR, consent, digital rights. We debate, question, take back control.

The invisible footprint

A streaming video? Several virtual liters of water. A stored email? Energy running constantly. Digital pollutes, but we don't see it. Data centers, planned obsolescence, electronic waste. We put numbers on the invisible. And understand that our daily choices have very real impacts.

Choosing your digital future

Comfort or security? Progress or equality? Freedom or regulation? We debate. We argue. We listen. Sometimes we change our minds. No ready-made answers, but essential questions. We learn to express a point of view, hear others', propose solutions. Because we're the ones building the digital future.
