ORANGE uses the Digital Society Forum to discuss digital technologies with the general public

Initiated by Orange, the Digital Society Forum is intended to clearly expose the major societal trends resulting from new digital technologies and offer the keys to a better understanding of various topics (the connected family, relations 2.0, new forms of learning, working in the digital era, the connected migrant, consumption in the co-mode, etc.). Sociologists, researchers and digital experts join ranks to study the impact of these technologies on day-to-day life and share results with the general public. As part of its strategy, Orange has partnered with entities that play a pivotal role in these digital transformations: Psychologies Magazine, FING (New Generation Internet Foundation).

The Digital Society Forum relies on a collaborative and participatory approach and hosts a number of events: roundtable sessions assembling digital experts and industry leaders, exchanges-workshops open to all, and online discussion spaces (e.g. forum, chat).

The issues addressed during these events have been defined in conjunction with sociologists from Orange's SENSE (Sociology and Economics of Networks and Services) Laboratory as well as Digital Society Forum partners. These issues overlap with the headline topics affecting modern society (private life, professional careers, education, leisure, good citizenship, consumption patterns, health, etc.) and are assessed from the standpoint of the digital impact on behavior.
