The most important holiday of the consumer society looms. This means overtime at the logistics centre. The participants of In Skills We Trust toil between barcodes and cardboard boxes, in a playful setting. During the breaks, stories about digital skills and the promise of upwards social mobility will be told. The OutOfTheBox group spoke to people who have gone on a so-called class voyage. They report on the power of digital skills in a society in which success still remains a question of social background.
