GDPrApp

The GDPrApp project aims at helping students at EU level to gain knowledge regarding GDPR in a playful way. The goal of the project is the Privacy related issues to become very clear for the students. Taking into consideration that children warrant special protection when it comes to the processing of their personal data, the use of game-based learning is the most effective approach. At the same time, the project aspires to properly train teachers and parents to be able to support students.

The project empowers students with critical digital skills on Internet Safety. This is highly suitable for creating synergies between different fields of education, training, and youth. The project’s focus is on digital literacy and online safety cuts across different fields of education, including technology, media studies, and critical thinking. Additionally, the project’s training sessions for students, teachers and parents provide an opportunity for collaboration between different actors in the youth and training sectors.

Using games in education not only makes learning fun but also promotes “Learning by Doing” and, therefore, can be done through in-game tasks, which in turn benefit the kids in becoming quick learners and learning about GDPR. Game-based learning promotes analytical thinking and logical reasoning. It also enhances problem-solving and collaborative thinking among kids.
