To address the new challenges and growing opportunities of online work with schools, in April 2021, Child Line (the helpline strand of the Lithuanian Safer Internet Centre (SIC)) introduced online lessons for schools on the topic of cyberbullying and online harassment.
Schools in Lithuania were offered lessons for school pupils aged 10 to 15. During these lessons, participants got acquainted with the emotional support work of Child Line and discussed the importance of getting help in emotionally difficult situations, whether offline or online. A variety of online bullying and harassment examples were presented, along with relatable stories shared by young people who have sought help from Child Line. Finally, participants had the chance to discuss and practice choosing tools and methods for tackling online bullying from the perspectives of the target, the bystander, and the bully. Each lesson was 45 minutes in duration.
