This case study covers an 80-minutes workshop conducted in cooperation with the parents’ association of the 15th public primary school in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. "GDPR and the 40 Thieves" is an interactive workshop that presents, in a very simple and entertaining way, issues related to the protection of personal data in the digital age. Also, through an experiential approach, it introduces the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the fundamental rights it guarantees for all citizens of the European Union.
Objectives:
To study: (a) If a legal text can be turned into an engaging and fun learning experience for both children and adults. (b) If (and how) such an experience differs between adults and children. (c) If there is any correlation between the profile of a child as measured by the Science Capital questionnaire and the perceived fun and engagement as measured by the FUNQ questionnaire.
