About the project

This project which is also an Erasmus KA2 partnership deals with digital education since the use of internet and social media via digital devices is getting more and massive in our everyday life and in our students' life as well. This means that we have access to all sorts of information, we can communicate with all kinds of people, but we can also become a target for cyber crime, bullying or other kinds of threats. We have to be aware of and careful about the negative aspects and influences that can be the effect of this 24/7 accessibility. Since some of our private information is accessible to the world we are responsible for its security. Social media is full of fake and valueless information. By sensitising all target groups (students and teachers) , the necessary attention paid to cybersecurity will be increased. In addition to this, the knowledge about security conscious behaviour and a responsible approach to using information and ICT as a whole will be imparted and promoted.,
