Through the “Digital Ri.Se. (Digital Rights & Security)” project, Homo Digitalis aspires to:

• properly inform the public on the current situation and the potential challenges for human rights
• bring together the various stakeholders and reinforce cooperation between them, to ensure maximum protection for fundamental rights and freedoms

Project duration: June-October 2020

The project Digital Rights & Security (Digital Ri.Se.) is being implemented under the Active citizens fund in Greece by Homo Digitalis. The Active citizens fund in Greece is supported through a € 12m grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as part of the EEA Grants 2014 – 2021. The program aims to develop the sustainability and capacity of the civil society sector in Greece, and to strengthen its role in promoting and safeguarding democratic procedures, active citizenship and human rights. The Fund Operator for the Active citizens fund in Greece is Bodossaki Foundation in consortium with SolidarityNow.
