During my involvement in the D.E.C. (Digital Ethics Culture) project, I had the opportunity to contribute to an initiative aimed at providing a territorial analysis of the main gaps in citizens’ knowledge and awareness regarding the use of new technologies and the internet. The project aims to identify specific areas where citizens and young people encounter the greatest difficulties and provide them with the necessary tools to manage new technologies consciously.

Throughout these three months, I had the opportunity to contribute to the project through various activities:

• Participation in project meetings: I collaborated with project partners and stakeholders, both locally and cross-border.
• Management of the project’s social media: I handled the project’s online presence, sharing news and results to increase visibility and awareness.

The specific objective of the project is to create tools and methods that young generations can use to autonomously manage new technologies without being subjugated by them. To achieve this goal, the project focuses on analyzing three main areas: European legislation on data protection, cybersecurity, and the challenges and opportunities offered by artificial intelligence.

The approach of the D.E.C. project aims not only to ensure compliance with data protection regulations but also to promote technological awareness among citizens and young people. Through concrete and specific actions, the project aims to provide practical tools that enable future generations to manage new technologies responsibly and consciously.
