Action 4.2.1 Security and Privacy
This part of DPTA 4 "Security and Privacy" includes concepts and basic tips and aims to raise awareness of security and privacy issues on the internet and to provide information on how to decide if a website is trustable.
Theoretical part: The concepts of security and privacy are orientated on the definitions given by the document European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens[1].
Developing competencies in relation to security and privacy thus refers to the ability to protect devices, content, personal data, and privacy in the digital environment. The implication of this action allows the protection of physical and mental health, well-being, and social inclusion (it is possible to mention the topic on how to recognise the phenomena of cyberbullying and sexting). Finally, the need to be aware of the environmental impact of digital technologies/devices is pointed out. To this end, the issue of disposal is addressed.
Practical activity:
- The trainer shows how to install a web browser (e.g., download of Google Chrome) and some differences between the browsers (e.g., the linkage of Google Chrome to Google as a search engine; the linkage of internet explorer to bing).
- After the download of a search engine, the topic of security and privacy starts to be discussed. Therefore, the trainer explains, that the different web-browsers can have different privacy-regulation (only little input).
- The next part is about how to decide if a website is safe, and if it is ok to enter personal information or to buy things. Criteria, which are relevant for deciding if a webpage is trustable (“https” in the beginning of a link, existing of an imprint, etc….), should be collected. Therefore, the trainer can ask the participants if they have ideas, which criteria need to be considered while deciding if a page is trustable. The results can be collected on a board, flipchart, poster or directly in PowerPoint.
- Group-work: In the end, the participants are divided into different groups. Each group gets case-studies (as an alternative: instead of case-studies, maybe they can use their own research results of DPTA 2 and 3) which are dealing with different situations, where it is necessary to decide if the page is trustable or not. All groups have to justify their decision.

Action 4.2.2 Digital communication
This part provides an overview about different ways of communication in the digital environment in general (practical activities are in DPTA 6).
- In the beginning, the trainer can ask the participants what ways of communication they use in the digital environment and if they differentiate between the communication tools, regarding the person they want to contact or the topic they want to talk about.
- The next part focuses on email. The trainer provides examples, where and how an e-mail account is set-up.
- Practical Activity 1: All participants can create a personal email address.
- Practical Activity 2: Have a look on the internet to find a specific email address (e.g., e-mail of a doctor near to your home). (Link DPTA 5, activity 5.4.2)
