Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying can be seen as a form or extension of bullying, perpetrated via digital media, and is also an aggressive, intentional, and persistent behaviour. It can happen anywhere, at any time, and all the time. While in bullying the aggressor is known, in cyberbullying the aggressor is often anonymous, there is a physical distance, the aggression comes through mobile phones, social networks and messages, which contributes to the complexity of the phenomenon and to the aggravation of the emotional consequences for the victims.

Teaching material: Active against cyberbullying
It is now considered a mark of quality for schools to actively deal with the issue of cyberbullying, to take preventive measures and to know how to react when the occasion arises. The teaching material "Active against cyberbullying" is primarily about raising awareness of cyberbullying - 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.
