Context With the increase in the usage of computers and social networking by teenagers, online abuse has become more common. It has taken a different shape, more nuanced and harder recognizable, as it is often hidden by the bullies under false reasons and deceitful acts. Some of the key issues of studies into this problem is that the effects of violence are growing extremely serious. The initiative is directed at both students and their families – on the one side, we want to make active consumers of the internet and social media, to minimize the occurrence of cyberbullying, and on the other side, to provide parents with advice to track and monitor their kids. Objectives To reduce the occurrence of cyberbullying by at least 50 per cent in 2 years-To increase consciousness to at least 80 per cent of the focus population linked to all aspects of violence at the end of 2 years of the project-To enhance parents ' capacity to track their children's online activities by creating one guide and conducting 4 workshops (C2-C6)-To establish an integrated forum for child's online activities. Participants The goal population is 170 students aged 15-18 in every college. Participants in exchanges – 125 students (25 students from each country) – undergo daily lessons, thematic workshops and seminars, cultural events. The family of target pupils – can take part in seminars addressed to them during mobilities and also after mobilities, because each school would carry out specific workshops with its target parents Events C1 – Cyber-bullying throughout Europe.

Task packages on cyberbullying and use of students (All partners) Impact The project is planned to add to the European aspect of our colleges. We must strengthen the transparency and versatility of our educators and pupils. The school would achieve an edge in the local community because it will appear more desirable to potential pupils. It will minimize the occurrence of cyberbullying, be better qualified to cope with the problem, allow children better likely to recognize these conditions and respond under these situations. We would also make it easier for parents to become more involved in their children's lives, track and direct them, and provide them with resources. We must also establish a productive relationship between the school-parents-students. Our school is going to become a regional platform for us to disseminate our outcomes in our community.
Due to COVID we had to give up family hospitality, so the students stayed in hotels, but we compensated by increasing the opportunities for students to meet and discuss, for example with online meetings, during which they had the opportunity to get to know each other , discuss and exchange ideas. This, however, did not affect the project, the results of which were achieved as expected. The project was an opportunity to address the topic of "bullying" in more depth in its various forms, physical, verbal and virtual. Numerous initiatives have been carried out in the project's partner schools to raise awareness among children that even a prevaricating attitude towards classmates can give rise to bullying. To this end, we have tried to make students open to appreciating beauty, seeking it, valuing it and sharing it. During the project there were two leitmotifs: "Beauty will save the world" and "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and the students reasoned and drew their own conclusions on these paths. Particular attention was also paid to a new generation of bullying, cyberbullying, given that, compared to the past, people have greater possibilities for virtual meetings, even with complete strangers. It is no coincidence that rather dangerous phenomena have emerged in recent times, such as various deadly challenges that fascinate even very young children. The project had as interlocutors, in addition to the students, also their families and associations that fight against bullying, such as, for example, the Italian association "MaBasta" which took an active part in the project by participating in numerous meetings with the students. The participation objectives were fully achieved, both in the various school environments and in active participation in mobility. Meetings, including individual ones, were held in the various schools with psychologists, local associations and the postal police to support students in their growth path so that their actions are guided by the awareness of doing the right thing, rather than by fear of the consequences. The LTTAs had as their topic: C1 – Cyberbullying in Europe. Case studies, real situation in each school/country C2- The way I spend my time online by sharing tips on using mobile devices and the Internet C3 -Exchange – How do I know if I am being bullied- Social and legal requirements for online practices, psychological implications victim of bullying?
