Using a dissemination grant, GRADE member Łukasz Szałankiewicz engaged with an audience of retro gaming enthusiasts, academics, and members of the demoscene. His presentation “Wprowadzenie do Grassroots of Digital Europe: od historycznych do współczesnych kultur kreatywnego przetwarzania danych” provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the historical and contemporary significance of digital creativity, focusing on the preservation of these digital cultures through the GRADE initiative.
Łukasz also prepared and distributed posters and leaflets to enhance GRADE’s visibility at the event. These materials attracted interest, with many participants taking the leaflets for further exploration. Additionally, he established new connections and had productive conversations about potential collaborations, which could lead to future joint projects aligned with GRADE’s mission.
