An intersectional festival about collective practices & free technologies production.  
[Why](https://offdem.net/manifesto) | **What** | [Where](https://oxygen.offdem.net/pub/directions-to-offdem)

 

# Common Time

Activities span **from Friday 02 February, 18:00 to Sunday 04 in the evening** in two places : Caldarium and VSP (details below).

We have a limited space, be sure to come for the day activities as we might limit entry if too many people join after hours.

## A point on methodology

OFFDEM is a special event with a specific [OFFDEM methodology](https://oxygen.offdem.net/t/about-the-infodesk-category/272#methodology-2). Please read it and understand where you’re heading!

There’s a single “track” along different themes and rooms, so that everyone can take the time to meet each other and share transversal perspectives. This year’s transversal topic is _demilitarization: a free software concern_ – sharing means of technological resistance towards a liveful world.

To contribute, please:

- ~~respond to~~ read our [Call for Presence](https://oxygen.offdem.net/pub/call-for-presence).
- browse the [Ongoing discussion](https://oxygen.offdem.net/c/offdem-0x04/17) (restricted to participants; you can follow the [outcomes](https://oxygen.offdem.net/pub/offdem-0x04-outcomes)).

## Friday – Early Birds 🐧

This year too, a [Launch Party](https://oxygen.offdem.net/pub/tetraoxygen-launch-party-at-caldarium) will happen for informal get-togethers from 6pm until late at night in the [Caldarium](https://caldarium.be/en:contact).  
This is also where you can pick up your OFFDEM pass in case of overcrowding. Priority is given to registered participants!

## Activities

In addition to the “Common Time” sessions, there will be some activities for individuals and small groups during the whole week-end:

### Welcoming Desk

At the entrance of the building, a table will display informations about the meeting and hopefully some people will be there to answer your questions or guide you to the relevant persons/places where to find informations.

### Kids Space

> [@On another topic](https://oxygen.offdem.net/t/197/1):
>
> ## All Kids Welcome!
> 
> A dedicated room will be available on the first floor. Going right, this is the last room on the left. It’s quite a big room, and we can put a curtain to provide a napping space, leaving the rest for games and toys.

See the [dedicated topic](https://oxygen.offdem.net/t/kidspace-all-kids-ride-for-free/197/10) for more informations.

### Live Radio

See the [dedicated topic](https://oxygen.offdem.net/t/radio-offdeem/239/1) for more information.

### [NGI Zero Grantees Feedback - OFFDEM](https://oxygen.offdem.net/pub/ngi-zero-grantees-feedback)

Next Generation Internet Zero: NGI grantees feedforth session. If you received NGI funding, come talk to NGI Zero mentors! We’re eager to gather your feedforth.

## After OFFDEM

### Monday

On Monday, for those who stay in Brussels and want to help tear down, you’re welcome!

### From Here To 2025

OFFDEM does not stop after the event ends. On the contrary, it will continue under written, online, and participatory forms at other venues. We’ll soon publish more insights about after OFFDEM…
