It addresses the topic of lethal autonomous weapons as a subject of democratic debate. **Votation 2032 – The Synthetic Campaign.** The year is 2032. A Geneva cantonal initiative will go to the ballot in three months: it asks the canton to stop supporting companies that develop autonomous weapons systems. Three months of campaigning, condensed into three hours. You play a role – the “yes” committee, the “no” committee, the authorities, the press, the public. Each group receives a mandate and limited resources, along with generative-AI tools to produce its posters and messages. So does everyone else. Votation 2032 requires no technical knowledge and no prior opinion. Roles are assigned on the spot – you may end up defending the opposite of what you believe. The organisers take no position on the initiative: it is fictional, and it is there to be debated. With the support of the FNF Human Rights Hub (Friedrich Naumann Foundation) and the University of Geneva. ## Details - **Start:** 2026\-10\-06T15:00:00\.000Z - **End:** 2026\-10\-06T18:00:00\.000Z - **Location:** Maison de l'avenir, Rue Fendt 1, 1201 Genève - **Attendance:** offline - **Language:** fr - **Price:** Free - **Audience:** broad public, students - **Event page:** Canonical:
