As internet usage continues to increase, so does the amount of personal information and data which is made available online. Not only has cybercrime become incredibly sophisticated in recent years, but in 2020-2021 we were online more than ever, working and studying from home, relying on technology and digital services, and all of this amid the uncertainty and disruption of a global pandemic. The risks to young individuals have never been greater. The amplification of the internet communication phenomenon has had some negative consequences worthy of consideration in between young audience. The online world presents a new environment in which vulnerable youth can be victimized and a space where perpetrators find new ways to perform acts of harassment. According to Net Children Go Mobile, nearly one in four (23%) 9–20-year-olds say that they have experienced some form of bullying, online or offline, in the past 12 months. For 6% of youth, this was not an upsetting experience. However, the majority of the ones who have experienced bullying find it upsetting and uncomfortable for their self esteem and mental health. Gender differences are also marked. The incidence of bullying is higher among girls overall and for those in their mid-teens, aged 13–16 years (26%). Girls are more likely to experience bullying (26%) than boys (19%). Taking into consideration the same survey, the average of 23% of 9–20- year-old children experiencing some form of bullying incorporates therefore a wide variation from high levels of bullying experienced in Romania (41%) and Denmark (39%) to much lower levels in Portugal (10%), Belgium, and Italy (both 13%). In Caras-Severin county, Romania, we have two partners we often work with that implement in the present the project PECAO - an European initiative in targeting cyberbullying in general and online hate speech against rroma in particular (Nevo Parudimos NGO and Kreativ Research). Also, one of the partners in this initiative, RROMA NGO from Macedonia, was part in PECAO project and the group leader from Macedonia will be one of the peer educators that works in PECAO. Taking this initiative as an example, we decided to implement this project, following the needs that we detected among the young people in local highschools: the need to be educated in how to avoid and limit cyberbullying, as well as the need to protect themselves from cyber attacks. Together with our partners, as a continuation of other projects in the field of online usage alphabetization, we wanted to promote through this project the fight against online harassment and hate speech through improving the knowledge and implementation of online skills among high school youth. The aim of this project was to combat online bullying among high school students by raising awareness of the phenomenon of online harassment and hate speech. The project was based on the knowledge of general human rights, the involvement of young people and their digital literacy in with a view to reducing the phenomenon of online bullying, racism, discrimination and social exclusion in their interactions online. For this, we used working methods specific to non-formal education (awareness campaigns, training exercises creative and critical thinking, etc.) and qualitative social methods such as ethnomethodology (eg media recordings, testimonies, social observation) and analyzes of the content of a speech or message. The objectives of the project were: - Development of tolerance and understanding for the 32 participants, high school students, in order to combat discrimination and social exclusion, during the 7 days of the exchange - Increase the knowledge about online harassment methods (cyberbullying and cyber-hate) and its extent phenomenon, among the 32 participants from 4 European countries, during the 7 days of the exchange - Increase the level of knowledge among the 32 participants about safety in the online environment, during the 7 days of the exchange - Developing the knowledge of the 32 young people about human rights and their connection with media literacy The needs to which our project addressed were: - The need for more information among young people about online harassment (it is not studied in schools and anywhere ) - The need to improve the knowledge of the young people about their rights and how they can combat online discrimination and harassment - The need to improve the knowledge of the young people about false news and how to combat them - the need of the young people to gain self esteem and self confidence so that they don't get affected by the bullying they might encounter online
