Fifo Festival in Tahiti

the Digital Encounters

We have become digital citizens as, objectively, our professional, personal, family, cultural, political and educational practices like those of our leisure, work or health are more and more linked, dependant and revitalized by the exponential presence of intelligent devices which surround us and no longer leave us. They are part of our life, influencing it, even if grey areas still exist. The choices recalled by Michel Paoletti, Guillaume Proia and Karl Tefaatau illustrate the irreversible evolution of fenua. Information, debates and perspectives are valid.
As a consequence, the 4th digital encounters are developing by proposing a rich and varied programme open to all stakeholders from Polynesian society.
There will be time for public debates, time to listen to policy makers, time to question the future of our digital society, time for exchanges between entrepreneurs and time to play, since a LAN, an online games competition will be offered for 24 hours.
Each and every one of you can get together, share, meet, exchange and build. ‘The Age of Digital Citizens’ is definitely a moment worthy of the FIFO spirit.
