ACT – Against Cyberbullying acTions

The project provides and uses communication and knowledge-sharing methodologies through the use of a platform for managing an online community. Questionnaires have also been prepared, and a study on the topic was conducted in schools in the Viterbo area, involving students, parents, and teachers. The project has developed a guide for classroom activities on cyberbullying for teachers.

Cyberbullying is a pervasive phenomenon linked to the widespread use of new technologies, particularly smartphones and social networks, and represents a dangerous extension of bullying phenomena more generally. The danger is even more evident when considering the social influence of behaviors connected to the use of new technologies.
This project aims to build a virtual community called “ACT – Against Cyberbullying acTions,” which involves students, teachers, and families in an interactive process to increase knowledge and shared awareness of the behaviors and causes of cyberbullying. The project is in collaboration with 22 schools with funds allocated by MIUR.
