Project Objectives

In todays' digitalised world, most people have heard of cookies and data protection - but how many really know what that means for them in practice?

With a focus on young people, the DataPro project aims to improve knowledge about the complexities of one's data usage and protection,  raise awareness of data protection as field of human rights, and facilitate understanding of the complex value(s) of data. By equipping individuals with this knowledge, DataPro will help them to navigate the digital landscape in a confident, informed, and safe way.

Students can ask anonymous questions in their preferred language and receive personalised, context-aware responses. The tool encourages deeper learning through interactive dialogue, and more advanced users can even request quizzes to test their understanding. Ideal for use in the classroom or as part of independent study. Access it here!

These findings will then be processed into a curriculum and consequent national training course plans based (syllabi) reflecting the national conditions.
• Training Tools and Materials: A set of at least 10 training tools will be developed throughout the project. These include will include game-based learning options , quiz-based learning tools and mobile micro-learning options, a mobile learning app with a focus on data protection topics for the target group, AI-based learning tools, and  license-based tool adaptions for data protection content that fit into salient school software infrastructures. Workshops introducing these tools will be available for both teachers and students.

Project outputs will be available to the public as open source.
