Presentations / Interviews

I have participated in and facilitated a number of events, conferences and projects, dedicating time and energy to learning and teaching media, the web and social responsibility. I’ve spoken at conferences like OnBrand, Engage Prague, All Things Open, the Mozilla Festival, DML, FITC or OpenSyms, for policy makers at the European Commission and for networks like the Hive Learning Networks and the European Children’s University Network. I’ve taught film directors at the Adelaide Film Festival Hive Lab and the Producer’s Institute for New Media Teachnology, and helped activists from non-profits like Greenpeace and Avaaz improve their understandings of the web and online campaigning.

You can find the majority of my slides, links to conference sites and some videos of my talks here, or below:
