This past weekend, the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship partnered with global non-profit, Build Up to host the Build Peace 2020 conference, which is an annual global gathering of activists, academics, artists, policy makers and technologists, to share and advance knowledge on emerging challenges to peace in the digital era.

This year’s conference focused on social justice and the coronavirus pandemic in the digital age as this plays out across three relevant sub-themes: identity polarisation, urban space and surveillance capitalism. 

Fergus Turner, programme manager and advisor at the Bertha Centre, is here to tell us a bit more about it today.
