In an unexpected fusion of art and technology, the Euronews Tech Talks team recently ventured to one of the most celebrated theatre festivals in the world: the Festival d'Avignon. Their mission? To merge the world of theatre with the intricacies of blockchain.

‍

Amidst the backdrop of passionate plays and riveting performances in Avignon, the Euronews Tech Talks team delved deep into the world of blockchain, asking pivotal questions to theatre-goers. From its legality, competition, and the vision of Web 3, to the environmental impact of blockchain technologies - every topic was up for discussion.

‍

The goal? To bridge the divide between the often complex world of blockchain and the everyday individual. To make people understand that blockchain isn't just about cryptocurrency or financial systems. It's a burgeoning technology with the potential to change the very fabric of our society.

‍

For the DSF community, a standout moment was when our founder, Paolo Tasca, made a poignant observation on the Euronews Techtalks podcast. "Everything that is on the chain will become our social collective memory," he remarked, addressing the significant question: "Will blockchain technologies ever become mainstream?"

‍

In their three-episode series, the Euronews Tech Talks team has beautifully showcased the European perspective on blockchain. Topics ranged from Web 3 and NFTs, Europe's crypto valley, to an Irish Bitcoin mine.
