Commissioner in Priboj via Digital Expedition Continues Education of Youngest
On 21 and 22 April, the "Digital Expedition" caravan visited Priboj as their second stop this year. Representatives of the Commissioner's Office Duško Gudurić and Dragan Milovanović, in the premises of the Regional Innovation Startup Center in Priboj, held a lecture for fifth and sixth-grade elementary school students. These lectures aim to teach children about what personal data is, how they can use it safely, and who they can turn to if it is misused.
It is planned to work successively on the education of children, and the first step is the promotion of the brochure aimed at our youngest called "Personal data is our treasure, how can we protect it?", prepared by the Commissioner via the program " New Literacy" jointly implemented by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Propulsion organization, and authored by Dragan Ilic, a well-known psychologist, and journalist.
With the help of UNDP, printed versions of this brochure have been provided for all children and interested citizens who attend our lectures as part of the "Digital Expedition", whereas everyone else can download it for free in electronic format on the Commissioner's website.
This year, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection joined the "Digital Expedition", launched two years ago at the initiative of the Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić. Through thematic lectures and discussions with experts from the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Labor, Employment, Veterans and Social Affairs, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, and the Office for IT and eGovernment, citizens have the opportunity to learn everything about digital literacy, the importance of digital skills, safe behavior in the online world, as well as other advantages of using the Internet and digital space. Caravan trainings are intended for the broadest population, from young people and their parents to the oldest fellow citizens and civil servants, and this year they are about to visit eight more cities.
