Project Summary

Due to the growth of Internet users, especially social networking sites, people should be aware that the phenomenon of cyberbullying is becoming a huge problem, especially among young people who use the Internet from an early age.
The main problem that was raised in the project was the lack of knowledge and awareness about the problem of cyberbullying among young people, trainers, teachers, parents and society. Among the recipients of the project the problem was: lack of awareness of threats on the Internet, inability to respond adequately to cyberviolence, lack of predictions of consequences of their actions on the Internet, lack of knowledge about the psychological, emotional and social aspects of cyberbullying, lack of tools and methodologies how to work with this topic, how to educate and prevent, the lack of awareness of the first signs of being a victim of cyberbullying.
The recipients of the project were:
1. Young people who were the main group of our activities, because they are the most vulnerable to cyberbullying in the network because of being defenseless and inexperienced in social life.
The impact of the project on this group concerned the introduction of the problem of cyberbullying and sensitivity to its nature associated with the consequences for victims, perpetrators and the environment. They will be able to react properly to the symptoms of cyberbullying, learn to respect each other and develop critical thinking.
2. Trainers, youth workers whose role is to educate and prevent negative phenomena in the network, through the use of innovative educational tools for this purpose.
The impact of the project on this group concerned learning educational work with young people, learning about the widely discussed problem of cyberbullying, learning techniques and methods adapted to the topic of cyberbullying. This group of recipients received all necessary resources to work with young people on cyberbullying, which will increase their pedagogical competence.
