Digital Alternatives to Google & Co.: More Independence on the Web
How dependent are we in our daily lives on a few large technology companies? The workshop Digital Alternatives to Google & Co. invites participants to the Social Psychiatric Center of AWO Trialog in Hildesheim on November 3, 2026. From 6 PM to 8 PM, the focus will be on digital self-determination, big tech companies, and practical ways to make informed decisions.
Big Tech Explained Clearly
The evening begins with a clear explanation: What characterizes a big tech company, what digital solutions lie behind it, and why do individuals, businesses, authorities, and associations frequently rely on the offerings of a few providers? Costs, dependencies, failures, and potential data leaks will also be discussed in the workshop.
Practical Alternatives to Try Out
Concrete examples from digital everyday life will be the focus. Alternative messengers, search engines, mapping applications, banking solutions, and web browsers will be introduced and discussed, among others. Participants will have the opportunity to try out different approaches directly and bring in their own questions.
Event Experience with Room for Exchange
The event combines lectures, practical examples, and open discussion. Personal devices are explicitly encouraged to allow for a vivid testing of applications and alternatives. The organization by AWO Trialog provides an accessible framework for people who want to design their digital infrastructure more consciously.
Who is the Workshop Suitable For?
The offer is aimed at anyone wishing to critically compare digital services, reduce their dependence on large platforms, or gain more orientation in selecting apps and programs. The target audience ranges from interested households to engaged individuals from business, administration, and associations.
Conclusion: Making Digital Decisions More Confidently
The workshop provides understandable expertise, practical insights, and opportunities for hands-on experimenting. Those wishing to learn about digital alternatives and consciously enhance their online use will experience an informative evening at AWO Trialog with concrete benefits for everyday life. The participation fee is 4 Euros per evening.
