(1) Three exhibitions on 'public infrastructures' entitled 'Telecommunication since the 19th century', 'Werkstatt Wittgenstein wortlos (WWw): Use of smartphones and family interaction¿ and 'Flying Cameras'; (2) a series of presentation on 'controversial publics' and (3) the implementation of a dialogue platform with schools.
