Eurosuccess Consulting coordinates the DIGIPRO – Digital Tools for Digital Challenges Erasmus+ project, a response to the increasing use of digital technologies in children which often exposes them to cyberbullying and hate-speech. The aim of the project is to contribute in tackling such toxic phenomena by using digital tools, by listening to the point of view of the children, by promoting co-education and creating an alliance among schools, families and other institutions.
The main objectives of the project are to:
- To find ways of collaboration and create a space for dialogue between teachers, parents and children that can facilitate the resolution of harmful or dangerous situations online
- To listen to the point of view of children, enabling them as EU citizens and creating a space to debate and reflect on the project topics
- To experiment with participatory tools and methodologies that promote a new relationship with the media and technologies
- To produce digital tools and online methodology that can contribute to the reduction of cyberbullying and hate speech phenomena
