Digital Footprint Awareness: a shared thought from our European research
The concept of “digital footprint” is new. It is linked with topics such as digital identity, privacy, online safety, information management. We all live in a hyper-connected world experiencing online reality. Through our devices, we provide a vast amount of information, information that drives user’s choices, activities, preferences, purchases, interests. This paints a picture of who we are. |

The data and information users provide online are usually sensitive personal data that remain on the Internet. Our data-portraits are more public that one may think. Companies – i.e. site owners – may use such information for their commercial interests and marketing purposes. It is evident that every online activity is deeply affected by a plethora of privacy-related threats; for instance, our online identity is at risk of cyberbullying, while our finances and savings are at risk of hacking and fraud.

The vision of the GEOLAND project is to establish and promote the effective participation of Higher Education (HE) institutions in monitoring actions leading to influencing decision-making for the implementation of the European Landscape Convention (ELC). With this in mind, the project has published an Educational Handbook with state-of-the-art information and materials on learning and teaching perspectives, methodologies including citizen science, and Landscape Character Assessment related to the European Landscape Convention. To complement this document a Technical Annex has been produced to provide details of the five methodological stages important for Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) by using GIS and public participation. The Educational Handbook and the Technical Annex can be downloaded in English, Bulgarian, Dutch, Greek and Spanish in the site of the project.

Back in November 2021, the C1- Summer Camp- Train the Trainers was hosted by ENFOR in Policoro. The partners, together with professionals, tested all 7 training modules to verify the skills and knowledge needed to become a Job Coach. In addition, all modules were further modified and refined based on this experience. Subsequently, the consortium tested the modules through a Pilot Test in several classrooms in each partner country. The aim was to test the modules directly with students with autism and their professionals. Based on these reflections, the C2- Blended Mobility of ASD Students training activity was developed from 23rd to 27th May! The consortium tested the modules together with students with autism in a 5-day training experience hosted by partner Ruse Chamber of Commerce and Industry / РТИК in Bulgaria. Finally, the consortium met in Lisbon on 6th and 7th July for the last TPM, where they analysed all the results achieved and planned new production collaborations!
