"Denmark Switches - take back control of your digital life'

A nice information stand at the library in the run-up to Skiftedagen, 'Big Switch From Big Tech Day', on Friday.

'Settle in. Read the step-by-step guides to switching things like your browser, mail and search engine. Be inspired. See other people's digital resolutions. Share yours.'

Kind of the librarians to put out cosy armchairs so you can make yourself comfortable as you make the switch.


Short version: a Denmark Switches information stand. Fuller description: at the bottom of the event ramp space at Aarhus Main library, a big comfy sink-into-it dusky orange armchair and an orange reading lamp. Out of frame, because there were people sitting and reading, other chairs and a coffee table with pens, post-its and reading material from ‘Switching kits’. Around the chair, black exhibition display walls. Pinned on one: colourful posters from the Danmark Skifter campaign with headlines like ‘Break Up With Big Tech’. On the other, Post-it notes in different colours for sharing your own resolutions. Beside it, a blackboard in a wooden frame with information about the Danmark Skifter campaign written on it and an invitation to share your digital resolution so you inspire others. Not visible in the photo, but people have written things like ‘I will continue to live just fine without AI’; ‘Less time on social media because I can feel it makes me less creative’; ‘I will switch away from Google’ and ‘I will not keep my telephone in the bedroom at night’.
