Are you interested in exploring how our digital lifestyles shape our ethics, our health and well-being, our social and interpersonal interactions? Join us as we unpack these topics in a panel discussion on digital ethics, digital leisure and digital well-being. This is more than a conversation on tech – it’s about how digital life impacts who we are and who we want to be.
