The Portuguese Ministry of Education launched the National Plan for Preventing and Combating Bullying and Cyberbullying in October 2019. Entitled "A School Without Bullying. A School Without Violence," this plan aims to provide educational communities with a series of instruments that may help them prevent and combat these forms of violence efficiently, especially among the youngest.

These MOOCs target teachers, educators, parents and guardians, psychologists, security forces and other professionals who perform functions in educational contexts. Both MOOCs are promoted by the Portuguese Safer Internet Centre (SIC), and consequenlty had 5,333 registrations and 1,368 participants completing the courses successfully. The first edition of this course was held in June 2019 and the second in February 2020.
The main objective of these training courses was to raise the participants' awareness of the issues related to bullying and cyberbullying by providing theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills that allow participants to identify, prevent, and intervene if faced with bullying and cyberbullying situations.
The training content included the following modules:
- Module 1 - Bullying
- Module 2 - Cyberbullying and communication through the screen
- Module 3 - Internet safety and cyberbullying
- Module 4 - Intervention approaches to bullying and cyberbullying
