The intangible results will be as important as the tangible ones. The knowledge and the skills aquired in the project will enhance the teachers' implication and motivation for the teaching proffesion which will be more informed about how to deal with students facing difficult situations provoked by the internet abuse. In their turn the students will become more interested in the learning process and will know how to cope with the risky situations they could encounter when they use the internet. In the long run, all these will increase the visibility and the prestige of each partner school in the local community as well as in the European community.
