We need you to #DeleteCyberbullying with us!
The Europe-wide cyberbullying conference, organised by COFACE
on May 28 in Madrid, gathered over 80 experts in the field from all over Europe.
The Final Report of the conference is available for download here:
The speakers’ presentations, videos and pictures are available on the conference’s page.
We have drawn many conclusions and learnt a lot, which will feed the #DeleteCyberbullying project work for the months to come. The next step of the project, building on the successes of this conference, will be to launch in November 2013 a European awareness raising digital campaign The Big March 2014.
We are also happy to inform you that we are currently working on the development of an smartphone application for teenagers, parents and teachers in the form of an interactive quiz. The app will be available next year. We are also creating an awareness-raising short video on cyberbullying.
For any questions, follow-up or interest in taking part in our awareness raising effort, you can always get in touch!
Please do not hesitate to share the report and the blog of the project http://deletecyberbullying.eu/ with other interested partners.
One last thing, as you know, #DeleteCyberbullying is an European Awareness Raising Campaign so we would be very happy to publish a guest blog from you on our blog.
Stay tuned, more up-dates about the project and other exciting milestones will come shortly your way!

Thank you
We would like to say a big thank you to all participants for taking part in the European Conference on Cyberbullying in Madrid and also via streaming all around the world (ok, in 14 countries…). From the overwhelming positive feedback we received during and after the conference, we concluded that we achieved our main objective, namely to open a discussion and facilitate the sharing of experience and best practice in Europe between a great variety of actors involved in the fight against cyberbullying, such as families, young people, NGOs, schools, law enforcement and the industry.
We have drawn many conclusions and learnt a lot, which will feed the #DeleteCyberbullying project work for the months to come. The next step of the project, building on the successes of this conference, will be to launch in November 2013 a European awareness raising digital campaign “The Big March”. We will keep you informed!

We are looking forward to working with you in the future.

“I actually forgot what it felt like to be happy”
“I actually forgot what it felt like to be happy” were the very touching words of 17 year old Nathalie, a former victim of bullying and cyberbullying, who shared her very personal story with the participants of the European #DeleteCyberbullying conference.
The Europe-wide cyberbullying conference, organised by COFACE on 28th May, gathered over 80 participants in Madrid, all experts in the field from all over Europe.
As part of the #DeleteCyberbullying project, the conference took on ambitious goals to bring together a great variety of actors involved in the fight against cyberbullying, such as families, young people, NGOs, schools, law enforcement and the industry.
Over the course of the day, in different plenary and interactive sessions the participants shared their experience, learned from each other and showed great interest in cooperating further to address the challenges of cyberbullying together.
Peer mentoring emerged as one of the most successful approaches in preventing and addressing cyberbullying, notably by empowering young people to talk about their bad experiences, and to seek help from young people of the same age group.
The highlights of the day were the honest testimonies of the 4 teenagers who shared their personal stories and experiences with the conference participants, which really brought home the core of the issue.
A consensus emerged around the idea, that cyberbullying is not only about technology but also about behaviour. Strengthening young people’s empathy and their sense of responsibility are key in fostering a bullying free environment.
“To empower kids, their whole environment needs to be empowered!”
So many actors in different fields have already acknowledged the importance and urgency to act; yet without a coordinated approach we will not be able to make a real difference.
The next step of the #DeleteCyberbullying project, building on the successes of this conference, will be to launch in November 2013 a European awareness raising digital campaign “The Big March”.
As the conference has been web-streamed, all the videos, presentations and pictures will be available here.
