Welcome, Birgit 🤗 A New Voice for More Self-Reflection In times of great change, self-reflection is more than just a personal exercise—it is a form of peacebuilding. Those who question themselves, who explore their own thought patterns, reactions, and values, not only gain a deeper understanding of themselves but also of others. This is exactly where Birgit comes in. As our newest member, she will enrich us with insightful and inspiring contributions on self-reflection. Her perspectives invite us to pause, think, and perhaps even discover new ways of connecting with one another. We are thrilled to have her on board! Join us in welcoming Birgit—we look forward to her insights and engaging discussions! 💥Kristina Sedmak Susanne Gold Astrid Brüggemann Silke Popp #WelcomeBirgit #Utopiensammlerin #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #NewPerspectives #Collaboration

Art as a Voice for Change – Movement for Justice For centuries, women in art have been seen primarily as objects, not creators. Today, it’s not aristocrats or clergy deciding what art is seen—it’s capital and algorithms. But the bias remains. 🎨 Susanne Gold illustrations in this presentation have mark the first step in our larger art project that confronts these injustices. Art is not just expression; it’s a tool for change—a way to expose, challenge, and connect. Our art initiative aims to bring together women and organizations to amplify our voices, claim our space, and push back against digital discrimination. 🚀 Visibility is not a coincidence—it’s a choice. Let’s use art and collaboration to create real impact. 💡 Who’s ready to join forces and reshape the narrative? #WomenInArt #VisibilityMatters #ArtForChange #FemaleCreators #DigitalJustice

Technology races ahead, people inch forward, and organizations move at a glacial pace—so a Big Bang transformation? Impossible. And yet, everyone dreams of one. Don’t they? Today, our association leads, 💥Kristina Sedmak & Susanne Gold joined the Technology Predictions 2025 event at Forrester Research. And guess what? At a gathering focused on the future of technology, one of the biggest takeaways was the critical role of social sciences. Of course, technology is a powerful force for change—but it’s the people who develop, implement, and adapt it that truly shape the future. That’s why we collect visions and stories from around the globe in our magazine—because understanding the human side of transformation is just as crucial as the technology itself. A huge thanks to Forrester for the fantastic insights and for having us! Pascal Matzke Manuel Podolski 🤗

Who becomes a victim of cybercrime—and why? Cybercrime isn’t just about hackers and scams—it’s also about who is most likely to fall victim. While criminology often focuses on offenders, victimology, a subfield of criminology, examines the characteristics that make certain individuals more vulnerable to crime. In her latest article, Dr. Edith Huber explores victimology in cyberspace, focusing on digital risks and dark field research—cases that never make it into official statistics because they go unreported. Her insights reveal what makes individuals more susceptible to cybercrime and why these cases often remain hidden. A must-read for anyone interested in digital security, criminology, and online risks. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d7djNWHh #Cybercrime #Victimology #Criminology #DarkFieldResearch #Cybersecurity #OnlineSafety #DigitalRisks
