The Institute of Entrepreneurship Development is delighted to organise the free online event “Cyberbullying & Serious Gaming: Best Practices & Solutions“, on Tuesday 29 September 2020 at 16:00. The event takes place in the framework of the European project “ACBC: Address Cyberbullying By Creating a Conscious Online Community”, which is funded under the Erasmus+ programme and its partnership comprises of organisations from Portugal, Romania, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Greece. ACBC aims at actively involving young people in the major issue of cyber behavior today, to tackle cyberbullying. In order to do so, the project will develop the following three intellectual outputs:
- Blueprint on ‘How to establish Regional Partnerships on Online Media Awareness’
- Serious Game, an interactive platform with movie clips and animation engaging young people (age group between 13-18 years) to recognise, understand and prevent cyberbullying and think about their and others online presence and its impact.
- The User Guide will describe the Serious Game and its rationale in depth and providing guidance on the best possible use of all online and offline materials from a wide audience.
The project will thus promote an understanding of cyberbullying and immoral cyberbullying, its consequences and implications for the victim and everyone involve in the case, the importance of confidentiality and the protection of personal data, and the development of young people’s media skills regarding and social media networking. It will also enable employees and teachers to tackle cyberbullying in a modern, interactive and effective way.
