At this hackathon organized by Forum Helveticum in cooperation with Opendata.ch, the future of multilingualism and understanding is being developed, with challenges like:
How can we use new technologies to improve language skills in Switzerland?
How can we optimise and strengthen communication between language communities?
How can we minimize possible negative effects of new technologies in this area?
