Educational Action of Homo Digitalis at the Music School of Larissa

In the context of Homo Digitalis’ actions for the awareness and information of students, our member Anastasios Arampatzis visited on February 9th the Music School of Larissa!

There, with more than 370 high school students, we discussed about digital bullying and ways of dealing with this phenomenon, as well as about our digital footprint and the rights provided by the legislation for the protection of personal data.

The discussion covered broader topics such as AI, the use of cameras, the ethics of using technology and more. The students have excellent knowledge on many topics but also have key questions and concerns to which they are seeking answers!

We would like to thank the Headmistress of the School, the Teachers’ Association and the EPAS Schools – Ambassadors of the European Parliament team for the invitation and hospitality!

We are organising a workshop for an innovative digital identity wallet in the framework of the PRIVÉ project

Homo Digitalis is a proud partner of the PRIVÉ project!

On 13 February at 18.00, we will host a workshop to present the solution developed within the project and have it evaluated by privacy-conscious end-users:

The EUDI wallet will revolutionise the way digital identity is handled in Europe. But how do we achieve widespread user adoption? Are privacy and trust important factors and are they sufficiently taken into account in the current EUDI architecture?

In response to these pressing questions, the PRIVÉ project is pleased to announce a webinar (hybrid) on 13 February 2024. This event will present an innovative solution for digital identity wallets that not only emphasizes strong privacy mechanisms, but also features seamless integration with the eIDAS and GDPR frameworks, setting a new benchmark for digital identity solutions.

13.02.2024, 18:00 Athens time

Three parallel sessions simultaneously:

-Athens.

-HERAKLEIO: at Bizrupt, Vikelas 34-36.

-Online session via Zoom

 

This webinar offers a unique, hands-on experience with PRIVÉ Wallet, inviting participants to engage directly with the technology through a real-life implementation scenario. We invite you to be part of its evolution. Your feedback on the usability of the wallet and your insights into the factors influencing the adoption of EUDI wallets by European citizens will be invaluable.

Join us in shaping the future of digital identity in Europe – a future where your identity is secure, your privacy is respected and your trust is earned.

Privacy Day is not a day of wishes, but a day of responsibility!

28 January is the international day dedicated to the protection of personal data!

Since March 2018, and for almost 6 years now, Homo Digitalis has carried out important actions for the protection of personal data in all 3 pillars of its action, those of awareness-raising, policy-making and legal actions.

At our celebratory event last month, we spent about 2 hours talking about all our successes. For today, we prepared a short video of a few seconds to present some highlights of these successes. Because today is not a day of wishes, but a day of responsibility! You can watch our short video https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7157389006190608384here.
