Homo Digitalis participates in 2 thematic workshops of the City of Athens OGP Local
On May 18, at Serafio, Homo Digitalis had the great pleasure of taking part in two thematic workshops organized by the City of Athens OGP (Open Government Partnership) Local Working Group. The workshops focused on Universal Accessibility in Physical and Digital Spaces and Transparency, Accountability, and Participatory Budgeting.
Through a shared methodology of gathering proposals, clustering ideas, and voting, under the coordination of Alexandros Melidis, General Director of the Greek Free Open Source Software Society, we had the opportunity to discuss and jointly decide on a series of particularly interesting proposals.
Our organization was represented in the two thematic discussions by Lamprini Gyftokosta and Eleftherios Chelioudakis, respectively.
We warmly thank the members of the Working Group responsible for designing and implementing the action plan for the City of Athens’ participation in OGP Local, for their kind invitation and excellent collaboration — including Ioannis Fytros, Angelos Kaskanis, and Stefanos Loukopoulos.
Schools in Messinia at the Heart of Digital Awareness
From March 31 to May 7, the NGO Homo Digitalis visited 11 primary and secondary schools across Messinia, bringing education and awareness on internet safety closer to students.
During the workshops held in Arfara, Dorio, Eva, Thouria, Kalamata, Kyparissia, Pylos, Filiatra, Finikounda, and Chora, a total of 554 students engaged with key issues of the digital world, such as: cyberbullying, online safety, recognition and understanding of deepfakes, and responsible use of social media.
Raising awareness and informing both children and adults is a vital step toward a safe and healthy experience in the digital space.
The initiative was supported by the “Captain Vassilis and Carmen Constantakopoulos” Foundation and it will continue with new sessions from September to December 2025.
If your school is located in Messinia and would like to host these free educational sessions, please contact the Homo Digitalis team at info@homodigitalis.gr.
