Project Summary

With the developments in information and communication technologies, our world is rapidly digitizing. As digital uses increase, so do digital threats. It raises new problems and concerns in the security dimension of Information Technologies. Crimes such as theft, fraud, cyberbullying are increasing dangerously in the online environment due to the widespread use of the Internet and mobile tools.
Our project was born out of the need to encourage teachers and students to online security and to integrate cyber security into education in order to ensure the conscious and proper use of the internet by building strategies to make the Internet a safer place. We decided to turn our “Get Cyber ​​Skilled and Prevent Cyber ​​Bullying” project, which we launched last year, into a strategic partnership project to increase interaction and collaboration among schools, share good practices, and develop strategies to integrate cyber security into education and training.
The purpose of our project is to provide cyber security methods and necessary skills in an interdisciplinary way in schools in order to use the internet safely and to protect against cyberbullying.Our project will last for 2 years and includes partner schools from Turkey, France, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain.
