One World Week - Monday 27 January


One World Week logoOne World Week, the world's largest student run international event, returns to Warwick from 25 January-2 February 2014. During the week the campus comes alive with a series of debates and discussions, parades and performances, a host of sporting tournaments and events and cultural exhibitions and workshops.

Monday 27 January itinerary:

Forum

The Breach of Privacy in the Digital Age:

The talk will address how spending so much of our lives online facilitates easy access to people's information. The NSA and GCHQ scandals have led us to know just how much of our life is policed by exterior forces. The rise of other movements such as Wikileaks or Anonymous questions whether anything can be kept secret or private in our day and age. The panel will discuss the extent of these discoveries and whether their consequences are to be desired or fought.
