Objectives

Online communication is a big part of our lives: work and private, and it sometimes results in aggravation of the problems existing in real-life communication. One of the gravest and the most widespread of such problems that concerns modern-day youth is the so-called cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is the use of digital-communication tools (such as the Internet and mobile phones) to make another person feel angry, sad or scared, usually again and again. Being naturally concerned about their safety on the web, the active young people who have taken part in IT-related project implemented by our partnership came up with the initiative to hold another cyberworld-based project dealing with the challenges young people may face in the Net, such as cyberbullying. The aim of this project will be to exchange and develop best practices of using the peer education concept in order to prevent cyberbullying and help youngsters to protect themselves if they face such challenge online. The objectives of our project are: - to familiarise the participants with the notion of cyberbullying and its types - to find out different ways of preventing cyberbullying - to define what peer education can do to support a young person who faces cyberbullying - to introduce liaison practices with adults and disseminate information about online bullying practices - to identify, present and multiply good practice examples on helping young people overcome their online issues threatening their real life - to equip the participants with empowerment skills which will enable them to share their knowledge and digital competence with their peers - to get to know the existing contemporary technologies and regulations on personal data protection - to help young people understand how they can contribute to their own well-being and well-being of their peers
