The main objective when carrying out this project was to have a better understanding of the subject on which it is based: cyberbullying. It is something relatively new but it affects us in the classroom as our students are exposed to it on a daily basis since the use of the Internet is something common among them. Having a broader knowledge of the subject, being prepared and knowing how to act from the centre as professionals if this situation arises is the most important thing when we started the project. In addition, it seemed very interesting to us to learn how these situations are dealt with in neighbouring countries that have other realities, experiences and instruments for working on the issue. Being able to work with these partners would provide us with a broader and more complete vision of the problem. The aim of this project was to create a safe Internet environment for pupils by increasing digital competences. In addition, it aimed to develop better educators and more aware generations by sharing good practices in ICT technologies with project partners in European countries and transferring good practices to schools.
The request for the project came from the school's teaching staff, motivated by the need to improve current problems among pupils. It was felt that nowadays, both in the classroom and among families, there is concern about everything that happens on the internet, the use of the internet and its security and, of course, the possible harassment that can be received through these media at an increasingly younger age. For these reasons and in order to help our pupils and protect them, the school's teaching staff wanted to carry out a project along these lines. The option of participating with other centres in its deepening and in this way also addressing the issue of internationalisation was considered.
