DISRUPTIVE DIGITAL LITERACIES IN THE ERA OF DATA GOVERNANCE:
ADDRESSING ‘GENERATION Z’, WITH AND BEYOND EDUCATION
Pre-Event by the Council of Europe in association with Savoir*Devenir
CICG Geneva - Centre International de Conférences, Rue de Varembé 17, Geneva
17 December 2017, 14:00-17:00, Salle 4
Rationale
This event examines the future of digital literacies and education with regard to data flows and their impact. At the forefront are Artificial Intelligence, Learning Analytics and the Internet of Things which makes data governance of critical importance for many actors and sectors in society (labour, health, safety, etc.) as well as for the self-determination of future generations including ‘Milennials’ and the even younger ‘Generation Z’. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is setting the pace for the dynamic exercise and implementation of individual management of personal data, with the right to privacy, to data portability, etc.
Data governance cannot put the burden only on individual responsibility, it should be shared with governments, institutions and structures. So how do we manage the disruption caused by data flows? What digital literacy do we want? What education do we need to prepare the next generation of learners, workers and citizens? What policies for policy-makers and public sector professionals? How can the private sector and civil society contribute, support and benefit?
