Dear Colleagues,
With this email we would like to cordially invite you to the final events of the EU co-funded project, STAR (Support Training Activities on the data protection Reform), to be held on:
* Wednesday, 17 October 2019 Brussels, Belgium 12:30-14:00, U-residence, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, 1050 Brussels * this event is dedicated specifically to Data Protection Officers * please see the details of the event here: https://brusselsprivacyhub.eu/events/17102019.html * Tuesday, 22 October 2019 Tirana, Albania 16:30-18:00, Side Event of the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners * this event is dedicated specifically to representatives of Data Protection Authorities * please see the details of the event here: https://privacyconference2019.info/conference/side-events/
These events will introduce and discuss the final results of the STAR project (co-funded by the European Union (EU) under its Rights, Equality and Citizenship programme (2014-2020)) which supports training activities of EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) on the EU data protection reform, and especially on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The panel will identify the challenges and best practices around data protection training. The panels will then launch the ready-made, easy-to-customise and easy-to-run training materials, (i.e. 11 Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, training scenarios, further supporting forms as well as a handbook for trainers and users of the materials) targeted for DPAs and DPOs and which are freely and publicly available in a digital form at the project’s website: http://www.project-star.eu/training-materials. During the event speakers will guide the audience through the STAR materials and, in form of a discussion, gather their feedback and experience from training activities thereafter.
Looking forward to meeting you in Brussels and in Tirana.
Kind regards, István Böröcz – on behalf of the STAR consortium
