Video Colloquium on „Copyright“ with MEP Axel Voss, Bozhidar Bozhanov, Alek Tarkowski hosted by Sabria David (Friday, September 21rst, 2018)

The positions of the participants concerning Copyright are far apart. But as the final question of the conversation reveals all three of them would share a vision for an ideal digital society: A co-created digital society that is open and transparent and were everyone respects the rights of others would fit the wishes of each.
A respectful conversation finds its way, through controversies, across borders, languages and approaches and despite technical constraints. This is possible, even on a controversial subject like Copyright. As our guests said after the colloquium: “exactly this kinds of discussions, where you can respectfully disagree and at the same time propose improvements and solutions, is the way forward”.
Creating communication spaces where people can across borders respectfully talk to and learn from each other is the approach of the “Colloquium European Societies in Digital Age”.

One of the formats is a video colloquium. That means we put together people interested in a special topic from different European countries. We create a communication space across borders and across discussion bubbles, where people can talk to each other who maybe wouldn’t have talked together before.
