IO5_Cyber Bullying

This method aims to increase participants' awareness and understanding of the notion "cyber bullying" and the core values and functionings of an informed civil society. By engaging in the activities, participants shall get a feel for what discrimination, hate speech, prejudices and other forms of cyber bullying are and that it is fundamental to have knowledge about its mechanisms and societal consequences. Not only will this activity raise participants' general awareness and understanding of online behaviour, but they will also learn to identify and counter occurrences of hate speech, discrimination or prejudices. 

Participants shall learn about forms, mechanisms and societal consequences of cyber bullying. The aim is to raise their awareness of responsible and critical online behaviour, which strengthens and fosters an informed civil society.

It is recommended to implement this workshop/reflection unit with groups you already know and have worked with; also it is advised that the participants are familiar with each other and that they have already established a fair amount of trust with each other.
