This DPTA 6 “Being active in the digital health environment” focuses on the ability to interact and react on health-related topics in the digital health environment. It should summarize the achieved knowledge in the previous DPTAS and enable the participants to find information and help in the digital environment for their personal health-related issues on their own. As health-topics are often related to personal information and data, to achieve awareness of privacy and security regarding personal data is also an objective of this session. Therefore, this DPTA focuses in specific on the dimensions 6 (Adding content) and 7 (protecting privacy) of Digital Health Literacy. These dimensions are described as followed:

Adding content: To create and edit digital content and also to improve and integrate information and content into an existing body of knowledge while understanding how copyright and licences are to be applied.

Protecting Privacy: To protect devices, content, personal data and privacy in digital environments. To protect physical and psychological health, and to be aware of digital technologies for social well-being and social inclusion. To be aware of the environmental impact of digital technologies and their use.

• Migrants: About 10 (newcomer) migrants in each country as beneficiaries of the training.
• Migrant peers: About 1-2 migrant peers, who are key persons in the migrant communities or are already integrated in the host country. Migrant peers have a fundamental role to play in the development of this DPTA, given that they have previously been in the same situation that the trainees are currently facing and therefore have a better understanding of the problems the migrants are facing.
• Health professionals (about 1-2): The expected role of health professionals is as an active participant or as an observer. It is advisable to invite health professionals to participate actively in the different sessions of this DPTA as they can provide information from their own experiences about communication on health-related topics in the digital environment. They also have the opportunity to exchange information with users about information and communication tools related to health topics in the digital environment.
