Pro bono Educational activities in schools: Leontio Lyceum of Nea Smyrni

Continuing our presentations in schools across the country, Kostas Kakavoulis and Stefanos Vitoratos were at the
Lycee Leonin-Nea Smyrni (Leontio Lyceum of Nea Smyrni) where they discussed with more than 250 students of the 1st and 2nd grade about cyberbullying!

Young generations are fully familiar with the internet, social media and online gaming and it is important to learn from an early age how to avoid and/or deal with cyberbullying phenomena.

We would like to thank the school management and all the teachers for their welcome and hospitality.

We participated in a discussion-speech after the performance of the Andromeda Theatre Group "It's Not a Game"

We actively support the Andromeda Theatre Group, which this year is staging its performance “It’s Not a Game”. The 4 extraordinary protagonists confess stories in which they have been victims or perpetrators via the internet. The topics they deal with are online blackmail, sextortion, revenge porn, bullying, scams and internet addiction.

In the context of the performance, open discussions with the audience, lasting one hour, were organized on 7 and 14 December at the nus theatre, in which Apollonia Ioannidou, a lawyer specializing in Law and Technology, and Katerina Mezini, a lawyer with a Master’s degree in Law and Information Technologies, participated from our team. Thank you to our two members for representing us in this important discussion!

The next discussion with the participation of important stakeholders will take place on 21/12!


We spoke to Inside.story as part of the article "On the internet no one knows you're a dog"

Is there a way to protect ourselves on the internet without compromising our privacy?

Members of HomoDigitalis spoke to inside story. and journalist Rafaella Maneli about an issue that concerns us every day.

-Kostas Kakavoulis “The internet started out as completely free, but that era has now passed. Today we do in it what we do in analogue life. In fact on the internet we are more exposed than in the real world. Therefore, human activity in it cannot remain unregulated.”
-Alexandra Giannopoulou: “Since Snowden’s time we still know that the relationship between security and privacy is not orthogonal. Similarly, neither is the relationship between child protection and privacy.”
-Giannis Krontiris: “SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity) technology can provide the appropriate framework for the identification and verification of digital identities, focusing on the user, who becomes the sovereign of his or her data.”
