Join us on 14 October 2026 and discover the Digital Twin of the City of Brussels.

YOUR CITY, DIGITALLY: GET INVOLVED!

Discover the Digital Twin of the City of Brussels: a virtual replica designed to help us better understand and improve our urban environment. Join an interactive workshop at FARI and share your thoughts on the planned features aimed at tackling urban heat islands. Your voice will help shape the technologies of tomorrow for a more sustainable city.

What’s on the agenda?

• Learn how algorithms work and how they influence our everyday lives through practical, easy-to-understand examples.
• Discover and test practical educational tools, and leave with resources and methods you can use in your own work.
• Take part in interactive role-playing activities to better understand the interactions between citizens, digital mediators, and trainers.
• Exchange experiences with peers about your practices, questions, and needs.

This workshop is designed as a space for experimentation, knowledge sharing, and co-creation, firmly rooted in real-world practice and attentive to the challenges of accessibility, empowerment, and participation.

Who is this workshop for?

Digital mediators, trainers, coaches, programme coordinators, community workers, and engaged citizens: this workshop is open to anyone in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands who supports people in their use of digital technologies and wants to better understand, question, and explain the role of algorithms, while keeping their social, political, and environmental implications in mind.
