SEMINAR “LET‘S GET ONLINE”

The first activity – The Seminar Let’s get online – took place on September 2019 in Jagniątków, Jelenia Góra, Poland.

The main topics of the seminar were GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation, the threads that we can face online and also some basic online tools to strengthening online security, for personal and professional purposes both. The ICT skills and competencies of the participants were enhanced through simulations, games, quizzes, role plays, case studies, etc.

About GDPR, participants were asked to make some researches about how the regulation works in their own countries. After gathering these information, they had the opportunity of sharing and comparing their own laws to the others. It has been a great chance of realizing the common points and differences between all the countries involved.

Regarding to the online threads, it was organized a simulation game in order to understand the subject better and develop some ideas and suggestion to tackle them down. Many threads were discussed, such as: spam attack, oversharing, hacking attack on bank account and personal data, virus and phishing. By using this working method, participants had also the chance to increase their creativity while learning about the topic at the same time.

After getting more aware about the importance of online security and to take always it into consideration, during the following sessions they were focused more on how to use some online tools and implementing some strategies to strengthening their personal data. It has been a great chance for all participants to learn more about the topic through brainstorming.

When it comes to party – it was not lacking. The intercultural evenings enriched with delicious food from all over Europe, dance and laughter, brought the participants closer to one another and made them more aware of the European values and the culture of the others.
