Security or Surveillance? Climate Activism Under Watch in France: “Hope after the algorithm"' France says it’s leading the fight against climate change. So why is it treating climate activists like criminals?

Security or Surveillance? Climate Activism Under Watch in France is a three-part mini-series from Are We Europe, hosted by journalist Seden Anlar. It investigates how artificial intelligence, counterterrorism rhetoric, and state surveillance are being used to silence climate activists, restrict protest, and reshape civic space in France—and across the EU. 

Through personal stories and expert insight, the series explores the human cost of repression and the growing criminalisation of environmental protest.

Climate Activism Under Watch in France: “Hope after the algorithm"' Seden Anlar 00:28:10 Artificial intelligence is reshaping public life in Europe – not just through automation, but through surveillance. In the final episode of Security or Surveillance?, host Seden Anlar explores how AI-powered monitoring tools are increasingly being used to police protests, monitor dissent, and chill political participation in France and across the EU. We hear from legal expert Erik Tuchtfeld, who breaks down the complex legal landscape surrounding AI surveillance, fundamental rights, and the challenges of pushing back through European courts. Climate activists Arthur Grimon and Lea Hobson reflect on what it means to resist in the face of surveillance, police violence, and criminalisation – and how solidarity, resilience, and international connections fuel their fight. With insights from psychologist and trauma researcher Prof. Guido Veronese and human rights advocate Caterina Rodelli, we explore the power of activism as a coping mechanism and a path to human connection – as demonstrated by ongoing struggles across climate justice, migration, and anti-racist movements.

]]> 02. Security or Surveillance? Climate Activism Under Watch in France: “The algorithm is watching" Seden Anlar 00:37:58 Algorithmic Video Surveillance (AVS) is quietly reshaping how public spaces are monitored – turning everyday life into a site of constant observation, prediction, and control. In this episode, host Seden Anlar continues her conversation with digital rights groups, mental health experts and activists, to explore the human cost of surveillance technologies that go beyond watching to predicting behaviour. AVS, first developed for large-scale sports events, is now being deployed to monitor city streets, protests, and daily routines. As surveillance shifts from investigating crimes to anticipating dissent, activists face not only political repression but a deeper psychological toll – anxiety, depression, and exhaustion by design. We ask: what happens when surveillance isn’t about stopping crime, but about making people hesitate? And how does this dissolve solidarity, trust, and the very foundations of resistance?

They recall how a new, capitalistic system was implemented into the hearts and minds of the former citizens of the GDR: with great force and speed.

Free-floating years full of unknown dangers, in which these Children of the Change learnt to hide and adapt. In a deep analysis of what it means to create history, they reclaim their voices: word by word. In the process, they offer us mindfulness-lessons for modern life & show us how dealing with sudden shifts in ideology & power can support every millennial in the changes that lie ahead.

After a tumultuous four years with the Trump administration, many following the transatlantic relationship are eager to understand how it can become more resilient in the future. But a reset is perhaps not the right goal. In the 21st century, people on both sides of the Atlantic are no longer satisfied with “back to normal” and want more. Through interviews with experts on various aspects of the transatlantic relationship, this podcast will pit our understanding of transatlantic relations over the last several years against ideas from people re-imagining what the transatlantic relationship can and should be. The outcome, we hope, is a clearer sense of the alliance that shapes our lives in visible and invisible ways.

For this season, Europarama joins forces with Edgeryders and their Science Fiction Economics Lab to build the world of Witness. It  is a fictional city floating in a post-climate change Planet Earth, where people are organised by districts each experimenting a different social contract and a different economic model, but all of them connected by being constrained in that floating space. 

Europarama is brought to you by Are We Europe, a border-breaking media trying to bridge the gaps in European culture and identity. You can become an Are We Europe member and connect with storytellers across the continent starting at €4 a month. Just go to areweeurope.com/member.

From Wuhan to Bergamo, New York to Rio de Janeiro, the coronavirus has increased the strain on the systems dealing with the logistics of corpses. While most countries have long and detailed procedures when it comes to burying or cremating bodies — with detailed steps for each party involved, from the doctor charged with confirming a death, to the companies operating the refrigeration systems, to the funeral homes, medical examiners or coroners —But they haven’t necessarily been trained in handling a surging death rate — let alone a pandemic. 

But The Netherlands may have found a way to handle bodies efficiently and offer countless families the emotional closure they need to move on after the passing of a loved one.

Throughout its violent past and today’s widespread gang-violence, food has always been one of the country’s most positive aspects. 

Since the civil war came to an end in 1992, hundreds of thousands of Salvadorians have fled the country in search of safety and better opportunities. While most of them find refuge in the United States, today many Salvadorans are also migrating to Europe as a result of President Trump’s harsh immigration policies. 

This story is about how “Pupusas"—a type of flatbread made with corn and usually stuffed with cheese, beans and pork, and the country’s beloved national dish, helps Salvadoran migrants in Europe, find a sense of belonging and communion. 

This story was produced and presented by Priyanka Shankar and edited by Priyanka Shankar and Toon Vos at KANO: a creative space for coworking and culture in Brussels.

Special thanks to Belgo-Salvadoran journalist Melissa Vida for enlightening us about Salvadoran food culture. Pupusas do sound delicious.
