In groups, you will then create and conduct a survey to gather information about the extent
and effects of cyberbullying in their university/community, district to ultimately shoot an
anti-cyberbullying short film.

Week 3: Project kick off

 You must be divided into heterogeneous groups.

Groups should be comprised of 5 to 6 members,
maximum, both gender, all nationalities.
 You should respond to some questions before
watching an anti-bullying short film:
- Have you ever been a bystander? What did
you do? Would you do anything differently if it
happened again?
- What are the strategies that may help
prevent/end cyberbullying?
 In groups, you start working on the first graded
assignmement:
- Data and survey reporting: The survey reporting englobes ONLY local results
gathered from local sources: e.g. students’ school, district, and online chat room such
as Clubhouse. HOWEVER, data reporting should demonstrate both global and local
findings.
- First assignment output: You are invited to present and discuss your reports in a
slideshow format, in week 6. The report is just for content validity; hence it shouldn't
exceed 10 pages.

Week 6: Data and Survey Reporting Presentation

You should consider the following:

The presentation should last 20 minutes plus 5 minutes for feedback

The presentation should be structured as follows:

Part 1: Introduction

• Group logo and slogan significance

• History of cyberbullying
• The real life effects of cyberbullying

2
 Part 2: Data reporting

• Data reporting should demonstrate both global and local findings. This part should
answer notably the following questions:
• What are the latest statistics representing the number of victims of cyberbullying?
• What are the different forms of cyberbullying?
• What are the prevention policies applied internationally? What about Tunisia?
• Which countries have the highest rate of cyberbullying? Why?

Part 3: Survey reporting

• Presentation of local findings gathered from local sources: e.g. Online
questionnaire targeting Esprit students, online chat room such as Clubhouse.
Students can insert screenshots , voice mails, etc.
• P.S: The use of graphs is mandatory to better interpret the results.
• You should also provide their teachers with a hard copy of the survey report
when presenting this section.

Part 4: Action plan

• You must unanimously decide upon the strategy to adapt in order to raise
awareness againt the danger of cyberbullying.
• Measures may include a petition, a prevention month, announcing Tunisian
cyberbullying day, teaching digital citizenship etc

Part 5: Conclusion
• Wrap up the presentation ''be as creative as possible''

Week 8: Output- Voice-Up Speech

In teams, you speak out against cyberbullying and advocate (to a public audience =
classmates) for change. Teams can also speak up using an online platform such as Clubhouse
chat room. However, the conversation must be recorded.

Present written proposals to school/district leaders, arguing for new or revised cyberbullying
policies and making a specific evidence-based case for the content of those policies.

Week 11: Final output- The short movie

Teams will create a short film that shares how important it is to VOICE UP to stop
cyberbullying and create the best virtual world possible. The style is up to you!

You can create a story, and act solo in a single room…You may invite family members to act
as well, sing an existing song related to bullying, or maybe come up with a rap or musical
piece, or even opt for a contemporary dance if possible.

The short film should be no more than 10 minutes long – and doesn’t have to be filmed
professionally – it can even be filmed on a phone. The short movie will be uploaded to
YouTube so make sure the content is suitable for all ages.
