TRAINING COURSE
04/03/2023 Rome
Today 4 May 2023 the second international meeting of the Let’s learn project took place, led by the Social Academy and co-financed by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme.
This transnational meeting took place in Rome, Italy, in the form of a Training course for the youth workers of the consortium associations. During the training day, 13 young people, guided by an expert facilitator, had the opportunity to explore the issue of cyberbullying and hate speach.
During the many workshops designed by our team, the guys were able to analyze the various facets of the phenomenon and the psychological implications in the victims. Participants were also able to put themselves in the shoes of victims of cyber bullying in simulations devoted to the analysis and construction of a solution to the phenomenon.
Furthermore, the participants focused on identifying the contents and structure of an online platform to support victims, parents and institutions which could be a tool for recognizing, preventing and fighting cyberbullying. The platform, which will soon be online, will be an open tool for partner associations and the community.
We strongly believe that contributing to the fight against cyberbullying and hate speach is a duty for all those who work closely with the younger generations. Only with everyone’s contribution and with innovative tools will it be possible to put an end to this kind of phenomenon.
