Better Internet for Kids

Children and young people are often victims of hate messages. At the same time, they also spread messages further. Even adults are often not up to date on which actions in the online sphere are relevant under criminal law. The information videos "Stand up against hate on the net!" and "Cyber bullying is punishable!" as well as the accompanying material provide young people with preventive information about hate on the net and cyber bullying. The videos show that the internet is not a lawless space. Young people are sensitised to these two topics and informed where they can get support.

It is now considered a mark of quality for schools to actively deal with the issue of cyber-bullying, to take preventive measures and to know how to react when the occasion arises. The teaching material "Active against cyber-bullying" is primarily about raising awareness of cyber-bullying - not only among the pupils themselves, but also among their parents and teachers. Understanding where the line between fun and hurt lies, what different roles there are in a cyber-bullying case and how prevention can help is important for this.
