On November 5th, 22 students from Moustey learned about digital identity, digital footprints, and personal data. The session was co-led by a data protection officer from Alpi and a digital usage referent teacher, alongside the class teacher.
This initiative, supported by the Département des Landes, Alpi, DSDEN 40, and Réseau Canopé with backing from the CNIL, is a departmental pilot program. From November 2026 to April 2027, it will involve 80 CM1-CM2 classes and all 6th-grade classes from five schools in the Landes: Grenade-sur-l’Adour, Parentis-en-Born, Pouillon, Saint-Paul-lès-Dax (Jean Moulin), and Saint-Vincent-de-Tyrosse.
The objective is to act proactively before junior high school students receive their laptops, fostering a critical, ethical, and responsible digital culture, and protecting children from online risks such as harassment, privacy violations, and disinformation.
Following the session, each teacher receives a "digital toolkit" to conduct four follow-up sessions on topics like choosing strong passwords, creating internet best practice memos, phishing awareness, and digital footprints with artificial intelligence. Concurrently, Alpi will engage digital mediation actors to offer awareness sessions for parents.
The program's impact will be measured using the CNIL questionnaire "En ligne as-tu les bons réflexes?" (Online, do you have the right reflexes?), administered to students before and after the interventions, along with supplementary questionnaires for teachers. A steering committee comprising all partners will oversee the project, which concludes on June 30, 2027.
