The Erasmus+ GDPrApp Project Results Dissemination Event was successfully completed by the Privacy Engineering and Social Informatics Laboratory (PrivaSI) of the Department of Cultural Technology and Communication of the University of the Aegean, in the context of the completion of the European project “GDPrApp: Teaching GDPR to Students through a Serious Game”.
The event took place on Friday September 25th 2026 from 12:00 to 13:30 in Room C of the Geography Building, University Hill and brought together members of the educational and academic community to explore the project’s main results and the importance of strengthening education and awareness around privacy and personal data protection.
The event opened with welcome remarks by Professor Christos Kalloniatis, Director of PrivaSI Lab and Scientific Coordinator of the project at the University of the Aegean, Professor Evangelia Kavakli, Head of the Department of Cultural Technology and Communication, and Mr. Aimilianos Evangelinos, Regional Supervisor for Education Quality, Regional Directorate of Primary and Secondary Education of the North Aegean.
The programme continued with presentations of the project’s key results across its work packages. Dr Katerina Mavroeidi presented the results of WP2 on research and information exchange. Dr Panagiotis Psomos presented the WP3 MOOC guide developed for teachers and parents. Mrs. Roula Argiriou presented the results of WP4 on idea development, while Mr. Aggelos Omeri presented WP5, focusing on the design, development and evaluation of the GDPrApp serious game.
A workshop also gave participants the opportunity to try the GDPrApp serious game themselves and experience how the project uses interactive learning to address topics related to the GDPR, privacy and personal data protection.
The GDPrApp project aims to enhance students’, parents’ and teachers’ understanding of the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through an educational digital game (serious game), online courses (MOOC) and training guides, promoting the safe and responsible use of digital technologies in the school environment.
The project is implemented under the Erasmus+ programme, bringing together six partners from four European countries: Collège Elsa Triolet and the Génération Numérique Association from France, the Department of Cultural Technology and Communication at the University of the Aegean and Primary School of Ippeios from Greece, Gislev Friskole from Denmark and the Direção Regional de Educação from Portugal. Collège Elsa Triolet is the project coordinator.
The event concluded with an open discussion and exchange of views on the project results and the importance of strengthening privacy and data protection awareness through education. PrivaSI Lab would like to thank all speakers, participants and project partners who contributed to the successful completion of the event and to the GDPrApp project.
