Building teachers competence about cyber violence against girls

Description

The project will address the topic of online violence against girls (CYBERVAG), which is a pressing problem that many school professionals are not equipped enough to address or tackle. For that reason, we have decided to bring the topic closer with several project activities in 4 EU countries: a survey of schools, development of MOOC and educational material and building and OER platform about online violence with the emphasis on online violence against girls.Technology and mobile phones are very present in schools around the world nowadays. The digital world can be a tool of empowerment for schoolchildren and bring new (also educational) possibilities, but at the same time it is has also became a tool for harassment and bullying. Online violence is a growing problem, its emergence brings about a new set of challenges and because online violence transcends the school environment, many school stakeholders have dilemmas, doubts and questions about whether and how it can be dealt with. Schools and school professionals are in need of new competences (educational resources, trainings) to recognize, address and prevent online violence and to act in a safe and adequate way when their students become involved as a victim, perpetrator or bystander. The main objective of the CYBERVAG MOOC project is to bring together the experts in the field of online violence and gender inequalities to develop educational material for educators/school staff/professionals working with young people (mainly in primary and lower secondary education (pupils and students 13 – 16 years old)). In the project the main focus will be on the following forms of online violence against girls: a) Non-consensual sharing of intimate images or/and videos, b) Exploitation, coercion and threats c) Unwanted sexualisation, and d) Sexualised bullying.The main objectives of the project are:-To conduct a representative school survey in 4 EU countries/regions about online violence in schools-To support teachers and other school professionals with the development of new innovative teaching approaches-To develop an e-learning course (MOOC) with curriculum on CYBERVAG-To build an OER platform with open source materials on CYBERVAG-To promote a cross-border and cross-institutional cooperation and exchange of knowledgeThe following activities will be conducted during the project life cycle: First step in the process leading to the first Intellectual Output will be a representative survey of schools (school principals) on CYBERVAG in four countries/regions. With the survey we will gather the missing information (e.g. how schools deal with online violence, do they recognise it, where is the emphasis needed etc.) which will be of help when developing a MOOC on online violence against girls for school professionals. Based on the existing knowledge, previous experience and the results of the survey the next steps will be taken. The second Intellectual Output will be the development of educational material and Curriculum for teachers. In a document the phenomenon of online violence against girls, its causes and consequences will be explained. Within the project also other educational material for teachers will be developed, such as scenarios, quizzes, games. The developed material will be used for the MOOC (third Intellectual Output), where different tools will be used - videos, presentations, guidelines, tests, quizzes. The MOOC will be developed in 4 languages (English, Slovenian, Estonian, Greek). All the material developed within the project will be published on the OER platform (fourth Intellectual Output) designed for the project. On the platform also other relevant (open source) material will be published and shared - for instance relevant articles, important information on the topic, links to other relevant projects, organisations and materials. The purpose of the Erasmus+ project is to use the knowledge gained and tools developed in the previously conducted projects related to online violence against girls to develop an e-learning course (MOOC) for the teachers and OER portal with additional in-depth information and interactive tools available. With this we will achieve several results: we will equip teachers with the knowledge and information about online violence against girls, at the same time we will also support the development of one component of digital competence according to the DIGCOMP framework (the area SAFETY), use modern learning tools to train teachers (e- learning) and introduce new innovative and interactive learning tools, which can be used by teachers in the classroom (serious game, decision trees, scenarios).
