With 75% of EU children using the internet, new forms of harm are arising from the web. Online violence can silence young people, make them feel unsafe and reduce or influence their participation in social debates, endangering democratic processes. According to the 2014 EU Net Children Go Mobile Report, 12% of the 3,500 children (9-16 yrs) were cyberbullied; for online teens, the rank ordering of risks experienced is similar. Across EU there is no single definition of cyberbullying and even if cyberbullying has received growing attention over the last decade, youngsters have not been directly involved in the analysis of a phenomenon that concerns them closely. In other words, laws concerning young people do not consider young people. ‘Cyberincluding goes Europe’, as its title already suggests, is committed to upscale a good practice arising from a previous national project against cyberbullying (founded by E+ programme), maximizing the results, endeavouring it to EU level, integrating new issues, tools and practices, creating opportunities for youngsters to take part in the decisions that directly affect them and taking a step forward to advocate their needs and ideas. ‘Cyberincluding goes Europe’ will work in a transnational cross-sectorial way, with a bottom-up approach and with the methodology of non-formal learning, involving young people (main target: 25 youths from Italy, Estonia, Spain, Slovenia and UK), schools (at least 3 schools per country – in total 15 schools, 25 teachers and 400 students) public institutions (at least 10 involved), experts, policy makers (at least 10 involved), civil society organizations, fostering youth empowerment and participation in the anti-bullying field as a catalyst for change (policy, behavioural and competences level) and for a more connected Europe against Eu disengangement.The project has the general objective too pursue further methodological innovation and greater cross-border cooperation at EU level in anti-cyberbullying field with a youth partecipatory approach. As regard the Specific Objectives (S.O.): S.O. 1 To equip young people with resources, skills and knowledge to foster their civic engangement by becoming youth leaders, able to make their voice heard by policy makers and relevant stakeholders to support actions and policies that contribute to the fight against cyberbullying. S.O. 2 To develop a formal legislative proposal with EU value in the field of cyberbullying, which is set from the viewpoint of the youth, scaling up the experience of the previous E+ project, testing its scalability at EU level for a greater impact.S.O. 3 To build up and test a set of innovative tools to provide support and guidance to organizations and stakeholders on how to effectively prevent cyberbullying/bullying and how to effectively involve young people. S.O. 4 To create a ‘quality label’ that will identify organizations, school and public body at EU level that apply the instruments developed and tested in the project plus certain positive approches (quality network creation).By reinforcing interaction between participation, practice, research and ideas 'Cyberincluding goes Europe' foresee the creation of the following outputs:Output1: PEER4PEER ON-LINE BOOKLET containing information and guidelines for youth (by youth) to raise awareness and take a step forwards against cyberbullying, bullying and hate speech.Output2: NEW CUTTING-EDGE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL at EU level AGAINST CYBERBULLYING, that takes into consideration the youth opinions and needs.Output 3: ON-LINE PLATFORM, hosted in the lead partner website, to enhance the impact of the previous output that will make available on-lineOutput 4: ‘ANTI-CYBERBULLYING LABEL’ to network those organizations, schools, etc. that apply certain approaches in their daily activity (youth dialogue, peer-to-peer approach, curricular integration of anti-bullying activities, youth empowerment approach, etc.) by subscribing a Protocol.
