School bullying occurs in an educational setting and is defined in Wikipedia as “as an unwelcome behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance”. As a variety of European and Global studies aimed at investigating this problem have shown, school bullying has become an epidemic in our society. To deal with bullying and to ensure a safe learning environment, based on equality and free of concern, the orchestrated contribution of all stakeholders involved in school education is necessary.
In the SONET-BULL project, we propose to combine modern pedagogical approaches (eLearning and peer learning) with widely used technological means (Internet, social networking, mobiles) in order to provide timely and continuous support to the entire community of stakeholders in dealing with school bullying.
