This is the page to co-ordinate the European Freedom not Fear weekend in Brussels from 26-29 September 2014.

Join us: Freedom not Fear 2014 European policy making is affecting our every day lives and civil liberties more and more. The EU is increasingly imposing unnecessary and disproportionate governmental surveillance measures on us. We are not willing to take this any longer. Therefore we invite you to join us for about three days of discussions networking protest meetings with politicians Issues "Freedom not fear 2014 - Defending fundamental rights in our networked world" We say NO to surveillance, data retention and PNR and demand the respect of our fundamental rights in the digital environment. Full list of demands Costs and application Freedom Not Fear Brussels (FNF) is for free and you don't have to register - just come, join and participate! FNF Brussels is non-profit, non-commercial and mainly driven/coordinated by individual volunteers who are working for free. But FNF Brussels will only become what you make of it. It lives from personal participation and engagement ... and would die, if there were none of that. When and where? When? From 26. – 29. September 2014 (Friday till Monday). We are starting on Friday afternoon. The official ending of the meeting shall be on Sunday evening, but there will be some more "action" on Monday, September 29, as some people want to organize some meetings with people from the EU Commission and Parliament. Where? We have booked some rooms in the "Mundo B" at Rue d'Edimbourg 26, where we had some wonderful days at Freedom not fear 2011, 2012 and 2013. It's the home of some non-governmental organisations and a very lovely place with lots of space for our meeting.

Structure We would like to offer time & space to exchange thoughts and concerns directly. As we believe, networking beyond borders is becoming more and more important; therefore this "event" shall provide an opportunity to get citizen initiatives from different countries together. We will thus have four days of "Freedom not fear" in Brussels: 25.9.2014 (Thursday): Apero on the Future of the Internet pre-event from Access 26.9.2014 (Friday): Arriving, first meeting 27.9.2014 (Saturday): Slots of networking, lectures and talks 28.9.2014 (Sunday): Slots of networking, lectures and talks 29.9.2014 (Monday): Meetings with politicians (self-organized!) Schedule (timetable) Find the Schedule for the three days and Mundo and its development here and feel free to add your personal input. What's going on these days? Proposed topics Confirmed topics Workshop Net Neutrality - Workshop on the current state of net neutrality, comparing the situation in the EU, the US and elsewhere. Together we will seek to find the ways we can influence the process toward European guaranteed net neutrality. And we will try to come to an understanding of which way we can expect net neutrality to develop in the coming years. Monday talks Schedule Here! Traveling and accommodation Generally, accommodation has to be organized autonomously. But there is the option to stay at an organized mass accomodation or participate in an organized trip.
