About

… Inspired by this motto, in 2022, SUPERRR created the Digital Futures Gathering as an event series that aims to carve out space and time for imagination, weave connections between networks, and explore collective dreaming as a form of planning the digital futures we want.

Visions and narratives are crucial to rally people behind a cause, and create a strong sense of belonging. For future visions to work for diverse people and communities – in particular, those whose desires have been ignored in the past – diverse perspectives, voices and backgrounds are needed to craft them.

We can’t build just and inclusive digital futures without a holistic view of the digital transformation. One which takes into account intersecting struggles, and the ways in which technology is built upon structural and societal power imbalances. That’s why, in order to dream up the role we want digital technology to play in our lives, we need intersectional, feminist, and decolonial perspectives on these structures. Only then can we strengthen our structures of solidarity, and spark and spread hope and joy.

With the first Digital Futures Gathering held in in 2022 as our foundation, we built on these ideas to continue the work on digital futures collaboratively with civil society organisations, activists, researchers, and policy advisors from various fields and backgrounds. In 2025, we held the second Digital Futures Gathering –  this time focusing on creating a space to reclaim and re-imagine digital futures that are just and free of violence for all. Together with our partners, co-conveners, and networks, we gathered to co-dream and co-shape thriving digital futures for all.

Thriving Digital Futures for All
In October 2025 over 55 policy experts, frontline workers, activists and researchers from all over Europe working on gender-based violence, digital rights, and social justice gathered in Berlin. Over two days, the participants came together to address the issues, challenges, and tensions of digital violence, with a particular focus on intimate partner violence, in order to build trust and strong foundations and to collectively shape and imagine violence-free and just digital futures

Collaborative strategies for just and sustainable digital futures
In September 2022, more than 50 independent researchers, activists and civil society practitioners met in Berlin for the Digital Futures Gathering. Over the two-day event, participants imagined what just and sustainable digital futures can look like and developed collaborative strategies to work towards them.
