It serves as a meeting point for continuous learning and exchange on digital society challenges through a variety of cultural activities and specialized training sessions. The institution is committed to democratizing technology, offering an open, participatory space for research groups, activists, and tech projects to reflect on the digital era's challenges. Canòdrom aims to make technology more accessible to people, serving as a hub for continuous learning, knowledge exchange, and self-learning on the challenges of the digital society and emerging technologies. The Canòdrom School offers training and workshops to bridge the digital divide, providing tools and knowledge on open technologies as alternatives to those offered by large tech companies.
