Event’s guidebook: Guidebook

This forum is a call, to cultural professionals, artists, citizens, researchers, technologists, policy makers, students, and accessibility advocates: to come together around two shared questions:

How can digital cultural heritage become a catalyst for more sustainable, inclusive, societies?
How do we build effective collaboration across different sectors and domains?

Over two days, we’ll explore not just the tools and technologies of the present, but the visions of the future. The event will centre on the pressing need to weave sustainability into the fabric of digital cultural practice, while embracing the transformative potential of digital culture to reshape participation, access, and collective imagination.

This gathering is an invitation to listen deeply, speak openly, and build across disciplines. Whether your experience lies in creation or cultural heritage, technology, accessibility, or policy, you’ll find space here to meet, contribute, challenge, and collaborate.

The programme will unfold through interactive sessions, grounded case studies, a fair and open roundtables, designed to spark dialogue, co-creation, and new ways of thinking. Expect a format that values presence over performance, ideas over hierarchy, and progress over perfection.

In the spirit of our team and members, the forum will be frugal, dynamic, and participatory — a living space where ideas circulate and take root.

Join us in Paris (or online for some sessions only) and get ready to Transform!

A long corridor with walls entirely covered in colorful street art and posters. The artwork includes a wide variety of styles and subjects—portraits, cartoon characters, abstract designs, graffiti tags, and pop culture references. There are barred gates along the wall, and light from the right side casts shadows onto the cobblestone floor. The scene captures a vibrant urban art space.
