Children’s privacy and data protection: Their rights, our future. Let’s Do It Together!

The aim is to explore the possibilities of educational practices that can: (a) raise awareness amongst participants on key issues around data protection of children and adolescents and (b) to equip them with resources to have an active participation in decisions on these matters. The activity is open to everyone! As it is meant to create spaces for discussions on these topics in which individuals across ages and diverse backgrounds can be included. We will discuss ideas to develop policy and good practice recommendations to manage data for and about children and adolescents. To do so, we will do a role play activity to learn about what policies are, which actors are entwined and what data and privacy looks like in the digital era. The experience and results will be shared through a blog post in which participants will be invited to collaborate and connect to continue amplifying these discussions.
