The main focus of Data Privacy Day is educational.
The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), co-organisers of the event, is calling for volunteers to give presentations at middle schools, high schools and colleges around the country.
All information about the school campaign as well as one-hour powerpoint presentations for teenagers and adults and some additional helpful resources are available here.
All data privacy officers and school teachers are invited to participate in the school campaign!

Teenagers do need education on the privacy risks they face when they go online.
I am personally convinced that one day (not so far away) all schools in Europe and in the US will have tailor-made educational programs to address this issue (as well as other related issues such as cyber-bullying and net-etiquete).
In the meantime, the pioneer presentation prepared by Intel for the inaugural Data Privacy Day in North America (I would like to express my gratitude to Jolynn Dellinger and David Hoffman) is a great resource to educate teenagers, and this is something we can all use every day of the year (not only on Data Privacy Day).
Therefore, may I encourage all privacy experts and teachers to have a look at these materials and use them freely at schools as well as at home with their own teenagers.
The powerpoint presentation is accompanied by a comprehensive script in word format and even by a document with additional sources and resources.

Each presentation can be given in approximately one hour and teaching guides or accompanying scripts are also posted below.
