Together with Campfire Security, we'll learn the basics of ethical hacking, explore common security concepts, and solve interactive exercises using a browser-based learning platform. No previous experience is needed: just curiosity and a laptop.

‍

Whether you're completely new to cybersecurity or simply looking for a place to learn alongside others, this workshop is all about building confidence, asking questions, and discovering that security can be creative, collaborative, and fun.

‍

Just bring your laptop!

‍

This workshop is supported by Østerbro Lokaludvalg.

​

There will be two open hacker labs in September as well which this workshop gives access to. More info coming.

‍

Over 3 days we will transform The Harmony in Rødvig, Denmark into a magical & soft utopia of workshops, exhibitions, talks, panels, performances, shared meals and collective imagination.

‍

You will enter a parallel universe where we will imagine and create the futures that we long for. It’s a space for meeting likeminded people, getting inspired by the SOFTER network, learning new skills and asking new questions. Together we explore how a softer approach to technology can create more democratic, caring and creative digital futures.  

‍

This year we are also relocating SOFTER Lab to the conference, softening up the programme, with more time to participate in workshops, to engage with installations, and more time for collective conversations and to connect with each other.  

‍

We can’t wait to welcome you to the beautiful site of The Harmony and enjoy another magical conference with you all!

‍

Speakers, facilitators and open calls to be announced soon.

‍

‍

After a year of focusing on other SOFTER initiatives, we realised we were very overdue for some networking and socialising with you, our community.

‍

On August 5, we’re hosting the next SOFTER Social in London, to open a dialogue about community architectures and how we can build a more collaborative softer future on the internet.

‍

Using accessible AI tools, you will “vibe design” your own object — moving from feeling to image to 3D form. Through guided prompts and experimentation, you will generate and shape a design that reflects how you want to live with your device, rather than be led by it.

‍

The workshop is open to anyone curious about spending less time on their phone, becoming more present at home, or exploring new ways of creating with AI and 3D tools. Whether you are completely new to 3D or already familiar, this session offers a different, intuitive approach to making. 

‍

You will leave with a ready-to-print 3D file, and perhaps a new ritual for where your phone belongs. 

‍

We will provide access to the tools (Leonardo AI and Meshy AI). Please bring your own laptop.

This beginner-friendly workshop will introduce you to the basics of cables.gl and its interface, so no prior experience is necessary (though familiarity with visual programming can be helpful). We’ll explore the different “Operators” that power cables.gl, then move into hands-on experimentation where you’ll build your own interactive patch using inputs like audio and webcam data.

‍

To wrap up, we’ll go through how to publish your project online or embed it directly into your own website.

‍

Just bring your laptop!
