What do human rights look like in a world shaped by algorithms, data flows, and constant connectivity? As our lives become increasingly digital, so do the challenges of protecting our freedoms online. Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) invites students, young researchers, and all curious minds to take part in the online workshop “Digital Rights in the 21st Century: Concept, Types, and Practical Implications” – an interactive space to explore, reflect, and learn how digital rights affect our everyday lives. The online workshop will take place on 30 September and will be hosted via Zoom.

This engaging 1.5-hour workshop will offer a deep dive into the key concepts of digital human rights, their classifications, and why they matter more than ever. From privacy and data protection to cybersecurity and platform accountability, participants will explore how fundamental rights evolve alongside digital transformation.

The workshop will cover not only theory but also practical challenges. A hands-on session will allow participants to analyze a real-life case of digital rights violations, engage in group discussions, and test their knowledge through an interactive quiz. The event will conclude with a reflection session, offering recommendations, useful resources, and a chance to ask questions.

Digital rights are no longer a topic for experts only – they are a daily reality for anyone who uses the internet, owns a smartphone, or shares information online. This workshop aims to equip participants with the tools to recognize violations, protect themselves, and understand the broader legal and societal context behind digital freedoms.

The event is free and open to MRU students, early-career researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of human rights and technology. Registration is required, and the Zoom link will be shared with registered participants.
