Who Are You? Data That Speaks About You

A project aimed at bringing data protection closer to libraries through fun and educational activities.

The Catalan Data Protection Authority has launched the project 'Who Are You? Data That Speaks About You' to raise awareness among the public, through playful and educational activities, about the importance of privacy in the digital world. The initiative has designed new materials, shows, games, stories, and workshops for children, young people, and adults to spread privacy culture. These activities are carried out in collaboration with the Public Libraries of Catalonia.
