Freedom not Fear 2020
6–9 November 2020
Brussels
Spread the word, mark your calendar! #FnF2020

Freedom not Fear is a self-organized BarCamp, kindly supported by five Members of Parliament and our participants. Our schedule will change over the weekend. If you would like to join Freedom not Fear, join one of our plenaries or visit us at Mundo B, Rue d’Edimbourg 26, BXL.
· Evening plenary Saturday 9 November: 18:45–20:00
· Morning plenary Sunday 10 November: 10:30–11:15

Saturday and Sunday will be unconference-style:
The session topics will be proposed and scheduled during the day itself, in the morning plenary. We have six rooms, so in any session slot there will be several sessions running in parallel.

What to bring:
Yourself. Also stickers, of course. And possibly a laptop to contribute to the collective note-taking during sessions (and to stick the stickers on).

4. Mark your calendar – Registration for travel allowances will be open on 15 September 2019. You will find info on this website.
5. Ask your MEPs for Freedom not Fear support. (The more member states and parties are involved in Freedom not Fear, the better for digital fundamental rights.)

We are happy to announce that Freedom not Fear 2019 is supported by Members of the European Parliament Alexandra Geese, Karen Melchior, Mikuláš PEKSA and Patrick Breyer. Thanks to these four, we expect to be able to provide travel allowances for about 70 Freedom not Fear attendees. We are looking forward to a beautiful BarCamp!

Additional MEP support is very welcome: The more member states and parties are involved in Freedom not Fear, the better for digital fundamental rights.
