Digital Rights
The project “Theatrical Performances to Raise Awareness of Digital Rights” was created with the goal of introducing the educational community and young audiences to the fundamental principles of digital rights, using theater as a tool for raising awareness, reflection, and dialogue.
This initiative combines short theatrical performances and interactive discussionsthat address topics such as online privacy, the responsible use of social media, the protection of personal data, and the impact of technology on daily life.
The format encourages interaction among performers, students, and faculty, fostering critical and creative learning about the ethical, social, and legal challenges of the digital environment.
