  • by

STAND UP project aims to provide VET teachers with tools to help them understand cyberbullying and how to fight it. In addition, it aims to help VET students become aware of the danger of cyberbullying.

Besides that, STAND UP’s general objectives are the following:

  • Provide VET teachers, educators, and professionals, especially in IVET and middle VET, with tools that will enable them to understand the process of cyberbullying, recognize signs in the classroom of possible victims, and understand how they can collaborate in their fight against it.
  • Give VET educators tools that will enable them to provide their students with the knowledge they need to understand cyberbullying and its consequences.
  • Provide educators with tools and skills to assist their students in case of risk of cyberbullying, or if they know of a case of cyberbullying, to know how to deal with the situation.
  • Create tools that support social inclusion inside and outside the classroom and encourage the creation of a positive school environment in VET classrooms, using teachers, trainers, and VET professionals as a channel for change and improvement.
  • Support the use of an innovative and digital approach to support pedagogical change in VET.
  • Provide trainers and students with tools to respond to cyberbullying, now that COVID-19 has led to an increase in cases
  • Support the continuing education of VET educators.
  • Promote the creation of VET classes in which tolerance and a positive work environment are ensured, both among the students themselves and between students and faculty.

The successful start of the project was indicated with the implementation of the first transnational meeting of the project partners. The meeting was organized by the project’s coordinator – Acción Laboral Valladolid and attended by all the project partners – CWEP from Poland, Inno Hub Valencia from Spain, Eurospeak from Ireland, and DIAS VET from Greece. During this meeting the partners had the opportunity to review the overall project’s plan and to define all future steps for the implementation of the project’s activities.
