The Ministry of Economy, Finance and Digital Administration, through the Integra Foundation, begins this Monday a pilot experience in school centers on cybersecurity with training and workshops that are aimed at students, teachers and families to act jointly in the safe use of new technologies.
Specifically, during this month these days will be held at the Narval School in Cartagena, the San Francisco de Asís School in Lorca and the La Flota de Murcia Secondary Education Institute. These activities seek to reduce and eliminate cyber threats and make responsible use of technology.
The general director of Informatics and Digital Transformation, Javier Martínez Gilabert, indicated that “we started this pilot experience in schools seeking to make environments more cyber-safe with a joint action aimed at schoolchildren, teachers and parents. The use of new technologies is more and more widespread and we have to take advantage of all their advantages and make responsible use ”.
With this objective, in the educational centers selected for this experience, informative sessions and practical workshops are held with students on cybersecurity, which is completed with workshops in which an expert shows schoolchildren how to avoid risks. These days also have online training and awareness sessions with teachers and parents to promote safe environments and detect and eliminate threats.
Development of the conference
The days have awareness sessions in which, through the devices that students usually use, they are shown the main dangers they face, exposing them to a simulation of real attacks led by experts.

In addition, this training includes eminently practical workshops that show how to configure devices and identities ‘online’ correctly, as well as explaining how to use password managers and other useful techniques on a day-to-day basis.
As for the sessions aimed at families and teachers, topics such as the tools and applications used, typical behaviors of minors and the most important threats to which students are exposed are addressed. In addition, it serves to solve technological doubts.
This initiative of the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Digital Administration, through the Integra Foundation, is co-financed by the European Funds for Regional Development (Feder).
