Description
Cyberbullying is no longer an isolated phenomenon: it is part of a growing continuum of online violence affecting children and teenagers in all their diversity globally. As cyberviolence becomes increasingly normalized in youth culture, young people are asking their schools for support. However, education systems worldwide often lack the knowledge and resources to effectively address this complex issue - only 40% of countries have a policy, strategy or plan in this area. In addition, cyberbullying takes increasingly diverse, complex forms, deeply influenced by gender and other intersecting identities – which further complicates the task of equipping schools and educators with the right knowledge and skills.
This special session, facilitated by UNESCO and the Power of Zero, brings together voices from Latin America, Asia Pacific, Australia and Europe to explore the challenges and potential solutions for equipping schools to better support students facing cyberviolence.
