A project proposal submitted by the Commission for Personal Data Protection entitled “Raising awareness of the data protection issues among the employees working in the EU” has been selected for funding after assessment carried out by European Commission’s experts. The project has been developed within the framework of the “Leonardo da Vinci” program partnership activity and will be carried out by a consortium of 4 data protection authorities, including the DPAs of Poland, Croatia and the Czech Republic. The project aims to establish guidelines on personal data protection in response to the needs of individuals who seek to begin working in a foreign EU member state. Thus individuals will be able to familiarize themselves with their rights and obligations concerning data protection in the foreign country before commencing their working activity.
A project proposal submitted by the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection and entitled “Exchange of experience in personal data protection training” has been selected for funding after assessment carried out by the National Agency responsible for governing the “Leonardo da Vinci” program – the Human Resource Development Center. The project aims to enhance the administrative capacity of CPDP through research of the experience and good practices of foreign EU partners in the sphere of personal data protection training. Two groups of CPDP representatives will have the opportunity to pay a visit to the offices of the German and Polish Data protection authorities and get acquainted with their training activities.
The financial grants of the two projects are trusted by the European Commission, through the “Lifelong learning” program.
