In today’s digital age, where personal data has become a currency in its own right, understanding the complexities of data protection is crucial, especially for young people navigating an increasingly connected world. The European Erasmus+ DataPro project recognises the need to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to understand, protect and defend their data rights. By exploring young people’s perceptions of data protection, DataPro sets clear learning objectives aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the use and protection of data.

DataPro aims to enhance the knowledge of school students regarding the multifaceted nature of data usage and protection. This involves unravelling the complexities of data collection, storage, and utilization as well as empowering students to make informed decisions about their digital agency in a world of surveillance and making money out of their data.

The concrete results of the DataPro project will facilitate the dissemination and implementation of data protection education throughout Europe. These include:

Comprehensive Reports: DataPro will produce detailed reports outlining the learning objectives identified, the hurdles encountered, and an evaluation of the project’s implementation, particularly within school environments. These reports will provide valuable insights for stakeholders and policymakers, informing future initiatives in data protection education.

Multilingual Curriculum and Training Syllabi: A cornerstone of DataPro’s efforts will be the development of a multilingual curriculum, accompanied by country-specific training syllabi. These resources will cater to diverse linguistic and cultural contexts, ensuring relevance and accessibility across different regions within Europe.

Training Materials and Tools: DataPro will curate a robust collection of training materials and tools tailored for both students and teachers. These resources will encompass engaging activities, informative guides, and interactive modules, designed to enhance understanding and promote active participation in data protection education.

Presentations to Stakeholders: DataPro will organize presentations to engage and inform a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, educators, and community leaders. By sharing project findings, best practices, and success stories, these presentations will garner support and catalyze further action in advancing data protection education initiatives.

Through these concrete results, DataPro aims to not only equip young individuals with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the digital landscape safely but also to foster a culture of data awareness and responsibility across Europe. By leveraging collaborative efforts and innovative approaches, DataPro endeavors to make meaningful contributions towards building a more informed, empowered, and resilient society in the digital age.
