Objectives

Our expectations by implementing the project were to reduce the occurrence of cyberbullying among students, to empower parents in controlling their children's digital activity, to point out to students the dangers of digital violence, to build an online platform where students can report cyberbullying incidents, to develop students' communication skills and intercultural experience, to improve students critical thinking skills and creativity, to increase the European dimension of partner schools through the international cooperation, to raise the awareness of students, parents and teachers about the bad impact that cyberbullying may have, to build a safe and secure school environment for the students and to exchange the ideas about dealing with cyberbullying cases. The project's theme itself is very beneficial for students, parents, and teachers in terms of acquiring knowledge and lasting skills in dealing with cyberbullying. It helps increase awareness of the causes and effects of cyberbullying, which is not only a local problem but also a global one occurring daily among students.

Activities

We implemented numerous activities during mobilities as well as in between them. During mobilities: diagnosis, presentations on „Causes and effects of cyberbullying”, procedures for using the phone/internet, mini theatrical performances, arts and crafts workshops, lesson in English, history, and chemistry to learn about the education system of the host country, lesson plans, SOS platform, case studies, training How to protect yourself from cyberbullying, seminars, and a guide for parents, workshops The consequences of cyberbullying, its impact on victims and perpetrators, reporting cases of cyberbullying, mind maps, role-playing, a meeting with a court-appointed guardian The legal consequences, creative lessons in Safety Education, mathematics, and computer science using tools and applications in education, lesson plans, developing intercultural awareness and communication skills through cultural-historical trips, as well as sports, cultural, and artistic activities. Between mobilities: preparation of meetings, verification of programs for permanent activities related to responsible and safe use of the Internet (diagnosis, Safe Internet Days, teacher self-education, lectures, meetings) involving entire school communities.

Impact

The actions undertaken locally and internationally bring tangible benefits to everyone and become an inspiration for initiatives. The activities involved approximately 1,500 students and their parents. Results include a case study on cyberbullying, parent education, and a guide for parents on How to Monitor Children's Internet Activity, initial and final analysis of cyberbullying in partner schools, workshops and training presentations (Forms of cyberbullying, causes and effects of cyberbullying, impact on victims and perpetrators), safety procedures – a guide for students, an online SOS platform for reporting cyberbullying, materials for use with students, ready lesson plans, mini-play, case studies), agreements, logos, websites. Intangible results include increasing awareness among parents and students in recognizing forms of cyberbullying and its signs, schools recognizing and reporting its cases, raising awareness of threats and ways to deal with them, as well as critical thinking skills, tolerance, and anti-discrimination skills. The effects are utilized in schools and made available on publicly accessible platforms: the project's website, results platform, E-twinning, as open resources for use by others.
