ETUCE project on Cyber Harassment
ETUCE Seminar on Cyber Harassment
On 18-19 February, 2010 ETUCE hosted a seminar on Cyber Harassment of teachers. The seminar took place in Brussels and gathered teacher union representatives from ETUCE member organisations in the EU/EFTA and candidate countries.
The Seminar was an opportunity to exchange good practices on how to tackle cyber-harassment in school, such as codes of conduct on anti-cyber harassment measures in schools.
The discussion also focused on concrete teacher union strategies dealing with this form of violence against teachers. The project experts presented the data gathered in the first survey on cyber-harassment which was sent out to all ETUCE member organisations in November 2009. Experts and researchers on cyber-violence in the education sector shared their expertise with the audience.
Participants was given the opportunity to debate on the implementation of the European Framework Agreement on Violence and Harassment in the education sector and to gather ideas for an action plan on anti cyber-harassment measures with recommendations addressed to all stakeholders in education. These recommendations will be further elaborated in the course of the project and will serve as a basis for the closing conference of this project.
