2. OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP

  • Through the different phases of the envisioned workshop and their assorted activities the teachers/educators will expand the perception of the different participants on the phenomenon by introducing to them crucial information on the matter – which most definitely have not come across before.
  • The teachers/educators will work towards gaining their attention and engagement in practical types of exercises with the sole purpose of altering their behavior when needed (primarily their online attitude) and thus reduce, at least within the space young people 12 – 17 socialize and connect, a continuum of aggressions ranging from unwanted sexual advances, gender and/or racist insults, to frequent, harmful, frightening, and sometimes life-threatening abuse which girls, and especially ones with other vulnerabilities, experience on the Internet.

3. PURPOSE
