B-SAFE (Web security and personal data protection)

PROJECT BACKGROUND & INTENDED IMPACTS: The overarching goal of the project was in line with two priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy: SMART & INCLUSIVE GROWTH. The priorities should be supported by empowering young adults in the acquisition of web security, personal data protection/GDPR skills following the INDUSTRY 4.0 trends within the EU. With an awareness of and know-how in different legal/IT schema individuals develop greater problem-solving capabilities, can advocate their interests and gain a sense of self-efficacy. This enables them to better adapt to new conditions, make potential career shifts and be more open to mobility within the European Union. Furthermore, web security, personal data protection/GDPR training should strengthen their entrepreneurial spirit and civic engagement because they know about related laws/IT and the effectiveness of their actions. PROJECT AIMS B-SAFE is now providing the European educational landscape with an innovative non-academic web security, personal data protection/GDPR following the INDUSTRY 4.0 training which enables future participants to • use of the knowledge to expand access to basic and core knowledge • understand by which national and EU laws they are affected and which rights and duties they have • autonomously read and understand the learning texts focus on the web security and internet safe • know the basic rules of the responsible behaviour on the Internet This gain in qualifications and skills will have economic and social benefits: Simultaneously, it is enhancing training participants’ chances of employment by championing not only professional skills but also know-how for web security and Internet safety issues (e.g. data protection, INDUSTRY 4.0, risks on Internet, inappropriate content and behaviour on Internet etc.). • Greater work mobility on the European job market due to knowledge gain on online platform and job seekers’ realisation that there are support mechanisms for foreign employees in different EU states. • Positive impact on society because more citizens are knowledgeable in web security, personal data protection/GDPR following the INDUSTRY 4.0 issues and can estimate legal/IT consequences of political/economic decisions, thus making informed decisions as voters. TARGET GROUP • first, multipliers (teachers and those working in adult education) should have a chance to use the new interactive educational tool for law teaching • furthermore, this tool should give jobseekers knowledge about their rights in the EU work context For the implementation and dissemination of B-SAFE we identify the following stakeholders: • National Employment Service • national further education institutions as well as welfare institutions with labour and social policy objectives Those stakeholders have a clear mission vis-à-vis the final target group and know their demands as well as the economic demands across national boundaries. PROJECT PARTNERS • P1(CZ): bit cz training is highly experienced in compiling training materials, customized and pedagogical development of training and online programs as well as in project implementation. It was the responsible partner for the final online platform development. • P2(PT): EDIT VALUE has a broad network of relevant stakeholders and is essential for the dissemination of the project inputs and results. P2 was responsible for the legal aspects of Internet safety. • P3(UDIMA): Open Madrid University has provided academic support and essential inputs for the curriculum content as well as the learning materials. The researchers from the University were focused on the Current Status of web security and personal data protection. • P4 (AT): bit Schulungscenter is providing several training programs for youths and adults and is a training centre specialized in trainings and certifications. That´s the reason why it was focused on the Development of the specialized texts. METHODS & ACTIVITIES: An appropriate legal training and the training of multipliers should enable the capacity building of non-academic web security, personal data protection/GDPR skills following the INDUSTRY 4.0 education in European countries. In particular, competencies relevant to the increase of employment opportunities should be conveyed. Additionally, employment and social provisions in the EU member states should be promoted in order to point out the benefits and advantages of the EU for the individual scope of action. The acquisition of non-academic web security, personal data protection/GDPR knowledge was extended, standardized and validated through B-SAFE. All B-SAFE products were developed and tested in a pilot testing for quality assurance by 27 of adult educators and 82 young adults. The results are corresponding to European standards and are openly accessible on project websites. KEY OUTCOME & IMPACT: • B-SAFE Current Status of the web security and personal data protection • B-SAFE Legal aspects of Internet safety • B-SAFE Development of the specialized texts • B-SAFE knowledge platform
