EnCycLEd is a 3-year-duration (2023-2026) Erasmus+ Project that aims to promote digital readiness in cybersecurity, resilience and capacity-building in educational institutions.
In a nutshell, Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks.
Why do we need Cybersecurity?
Cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing, changing, or destroying sensitive information. They can also have the goal to extort money from users via ransomware or interrupt normal business processes.
Implementing effective cybersecurity measures is particularly challenging today because there are more devices than people, and attackers are becoming more innovative.
Project's Goal
EnCycLEd’s goal is to enable cybersecurity and digital resilience mainstreaming in school education, in particularly by endowing school-teachers and educators in formation with knowledge and tools. Those can be further integrated and used in their pedagogical toolbox across various subjects (not just in IT, but also communication, civic studies, home economics, etc.)
