Kid Actions Educational Toolkit: Empowering Children and Youth against Cyberbullying

The Kid Actions Educational Toolkit is a comprehensive resource designed to address the critical issue of cyberbullying among children and young people. Developed for both formal and non-formal educators, this toolkit comprises 20 educational activities aimed at learners aged 11 to 19.

The activities are carefully categorized into three focus areas: understanding cyberbullying, preventing cyberbullying, and responding to cyberbullying. By utilizing this toolkit, educators can engage learners in a range of age-appropriate activities that foster social and emotional learning skills, such as self-awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills.

Accessing the Toolkit

The Kid Actions Educational Toolkit materials are freely accessible and downloadable from the website. The user-friendly interface allows educators to filter activities based on the focus area, age of learners, and social-emotional learning topics. Additionally, language options are available, with versions in English, Italian, and French. Each activity is accompanied by tags that indicate the recommended age group, focus area, and relevant social-emotional learning topics. The filter categories can be easily cleared by clicking on the cross icon next to the respective tag.
