Aerowaves, in collaboration with EDN and Versopolis, will host a series of four annual webinars on the impact of digital tools in the cultural sector.
How can we use digital tools in ways that are innovative, sustainable, and responsible?
Digital technologies shape every aspect of our cultural and artistic practices. They help us connect, create, and collaborate, but they also come with environmental costs, social inequities, and organisational challenges.
This new four-part webinar series, hosted by Aerowaves in collaboration with EDN and Versopolis, invites us to reflect together and discover practical ways to make our digital practices more sustainable.
Curated by David Irle, a consultant specialising in the ecological transition of the cultural sector, each webinar will blend hands-on tips with collective reflection. We’ll start with everyday office routines and build towards bigger systemic questions such as the regulation of artificial intelligence. Step by step, we’ll co-create a shared checklist of responsible digital practices to guide our work.
Who is it for?
This seminar is especially addressed to partner organisations of Aerowaves, EDN and Versopolis. We warmly encourage our members to invite their colleagues within their organisation to take part. Please note that the invitation is not open to further organisations.
The first part of each webinar will be recorded and published online, so the conversations can continue and inspire a wider audience.

Responsible digital practices in the workplace
The first webinar focuses on how cultural organisations can reduce the environmental impact of their everyday digital office practices (emails, cloud storage, websites, hardware use, etc.), while also improving team organisation and wellbeing at work. It was led by Gwendolenn Sharp, founder and director of The Green Room. The session was video recorded via Zoom on 10 October 2025 and edited by Miha Turk.
