Digital Ethics and Active Citizenship: Empowering Young People in Cybersecurity and Decision-Making Processes

The project was implemented with the aim of empowering young people through an integrated approach that connected digital ethics with active participation in institutional life and decision-making processes. During the eight-week period, students took part in various educational and practical activities, including interactive workshops, lectures by experts, study visits to public institutions, as well as a final activity in the form of a simulation and structured debate. Through these activities, participants had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of ethics in the digital space, privacy, individual responsibility, and the impact of technology on society.

In conclusion, the project contributed to the development of a group of students who are more aware, more critical, and more engaged in relation to their role as active citizens in a democratic society. By connecting theoretical knowledge with practical experience, students gained a better understanding of the functioning of public institutions, decision-making processes, and the importance of responsible participation in public life. This project created an important foundation for encouraging active citizenship, critical thinking, and digital responsibility among young people.
