We are happy to announce that we have successfully completed this school years’ Seminars on “Online privacy protection and digital footprint” in the context of WP2 – Awareness for the project CYberSafety V.

In school year 2024-2025 we visited seven different schools of the following regeons : Nicosia, Larnaca, Famagusta and Paphos.

We had the opportunity to take part in the Safer Internet Day event organized by the Pedagogical Institute of the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth with the support of the Cyprus Safer Internet Center – CyberSafety.

During the event, we proudly presented e-followMe and the GDPR Game, engaging students and educators in fun, interactive ways to learn about online safety, privacy, and responsible digital behavior.

A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand and contributed to this important conversation about making the internet a safer and better place for all!

💡 What is eHelped-IT all about?
This project aims to:
✔️ Raise awareness about the importance of eHealth Literacy (eHL) in medical and allied health fields.

✔️ Enhance students’ eHL skills through hands-on strategies and interventions.
