With 75% of EU children using the internet, new forms of harm are arising from the web. Online violence can silence young people, make them feel unsafe and reduce or influence their participation in social debates, endangering democratic processes. According to the 2014 EU Net Children Go Mobile Report, 12% of the 3,500 children (9-16 yrs) were cyberbullied; for online teens, the rank ordering of risks experienced is similar. Across EU there is no single definition of cyberbullying and even if cyberbullying has received growing attention over the last decade, youngsters have not been directly involved in the analysis of a phenomenon that concerns them closely. In other words, laws concerning young people do not consider young people. ‘Cyberincluding goes Europe’, as its title already suggests, is committed to upscale a good practice arising from a previous national project against cyberbullying (founded by E+ programme), maximizing the results, endeavouring it to EU level, integrating new issues, tools and practices, creating opportunities for youngsters to take part in the decisions that directly affect them and taking a step forward to advocate their needs and ideas. ‘Cyberincluding goes Europe’ will work in a transnational cross-sectorial way, with a bottom-up approach and with the methodology of non-formal learning, involving young people (main target: 25 youths from Italy, Estonia, Spain, Slovenia and UK), schools (at least 3 schools per country – in total 15 schools, 25 teachers and 400 students) public institutions (at least 10 involved), experts, policy makers (at least 10 involved), civil society organizations, fostering youth empowerment and participation in the anti-bullying field as a catalyst for change (policy, behavioural and competences level) and for a more connected Europe against Eu disengangement.The project has the general objective too pursue further methodological innovation and greater cross-border cooperation at EU level in anti-cyberbullying field with a youth partecipatory approach. As regard the Specific Objectives (S.O.): S.O. 1 To equip young people with resources, skills and knowledge to foster their civic engangement by becoming youth leaders, able to make their voice heard by policy makers and relevant stakeholders to support actions and policies that contribute to the fight against cyberbullying. S.O. 2 To develop a formal legislative proposal with EU value in the field of cyberbullying, which is set from the viewpoint of the youth, scaling up the experience of the previous E+ project, testing its scalability at EU level for a greater impact.S.O. 3 To build up and test a set of innovative tools to provide support and guidance to organizations and stakeholders on how to effectively prevent cyberbullying/bullying and how to effectively involve young people. S.O. 4 To create a ‘quality label’ that will identify organizations, school and public body at EU level that apply the instruments developed and tested in the project plus certain positive approches (quality network creation).By reinforcing interaction between participation, practice, research and ideas 'Cyberincluding goes Europe' foresee the creation of the following outputs:Output1: PEER4PEER ON-LINE BOOKLET containing information and guidelines for youth (by youth) to raise awareness and take a step forwards against cyberbullying, bullying and hate speech.Output2: NEW CUTTING-EDGE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL at EU level AGAINST CYBERBULLYING, that takes into consideration the youth opinions and needs.Output 3: ON-LINE PLATFORM, hosted in the lead partner website, to enhance the impact of the previous output that will make available on-lineOutput 4: ‘ANTI-CYBERBULLYING LABEL’ to network those organizations, schools, etc. that apply certain approaches in their daily activity (youth dialogue, peer-to-peer approach, curricular integration of anti-bullying activities, youth empowerment approach, etc.) by subscribing a Protocol.

Digital literacy have a great potential to help to deliver the SDGs. Young people in Europe spend an increasing amount of their time consuming digital media and technology (videstreaming, messaging, blogging, vlogging, etc). These can provide a place for young people to work, to learn, to share their experience, to exchange their views, to have fun with their friends and to actively participate in society.In Europe, at this moment, there is not an online space dedicated to digital youth work focused on promotion and engaging of SDG’s. The podcast, video story and photo storytelling and online training module, that will be created during “SDGYOU: Sustainable Digitalization Goals with YOUth” will be a way to start to create this space and a door for possible follow-up online activities enhance participation of youth towards the SDGs.As young leaders of tomorrow, it is pivotal that youth should be informed and engaged with the global vision for the future. Over the next ten years, youth will not only directly experience the outcome of SDGs and plans but will also be the key driver for their successful implementation. For this reason, it is vital to raise awareness about the 17 SDGs among youth, build online portal for engage and promotion, and create the conditions for active engagement.AIM of the project is to foster new non-formal learning through open and innovative practices, which will raise digital competences of partner organization and youth workers, in order to contribute in achievement of SDG's goal through implementing local, national and international activities.Objectives:- To identify innovative practices in both delivering digital youth work and upskilling youth worker’s digital competencies and to exchange on how digital tools are used in youth work in Europe- To engage youth in the SDG’s goals and encourage them to see themselves as protagonists of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.- To develop youth workers’ skills, competences and knowledge on digitalization through training that meets their needs and the needs of their communities and young people they work with- To create space for making new contacts, creating new networks and opportunities to develop digital youth work for achievement of SDG’s goals.Project is in line with the Erasmus+ goals and impact intended for capacity building in the field of youth, but also with the DigiExpected results:- online portal - 7 podcast related to SDG’s- 7 video story telling related to SDG’s- 7 photo story telling related to SDG’- Online trainer module for localization SDG’s goals Project is in line with the Erasmus+ goals and impact intended for capacity building in the field of youth, but also with the Digital Agenda for Europe as well as the Youth Policy Agenda 2020.

We live in a world where the composition of women and man is almost in equal number, but looking at the presence in the media, women are heard about or read in approximately 23% of the world news. The world seen in the news media is largely male one with their presence in 76% of the time. This leaves the female part of our societies relatively invisible. Study from 2012 shows that “women’s voices were hardly visible in stories on politics, economics, energy, and sports – areas considered male domain. Instead, they were more present in stories connected with gender-based violence, child issues, health, beauty and life style, which are to be considered as a female domain. This clearly shows that media often portrays women merely as sex objects, victims of violence and of disasters. In the same time, women’s views are rarely solicited and when solicited they are presented as average citizens. On a general point of view, women are rarely seen as expert sources. According to research conducted by Global Media Monitoring Project conducted in 100 countries, 46% of the printed news, radio and TV uphold gender stereotypes and only 6% highlighting gender equality. Other report shows that only 16% of the media gave stories for women’s voices. This again portraits the world of experts/professional mainly as a “man’s world” and limiting the possibilities for the women’s angles and expert’s opinion to be heard and shape our world.We want to go beyond the reasons why media continues to report negatively about women and contribute to responsible reporting and journalism that a holistic turnaround of our countries can be achieved. Staying in the space where media continues to stereotype women through coverage, it can contribute to the perpetuation of unfair positioning of women in society, which is already fragile and still needs development. One of the things we need to so is change the negative portrayal of women in and by media, while reporting and journalism training should establish gender-sensitive units and curriculum. There is definitely a need to raise the standards of reporting and make them more gender sensitive and strengthen the human capacity of the NGO’s and their partnership with media in the partner countries. This is an important pillar in the process of enhancing democracy, good governance and human rights in our countries while promoting professionalism and editorial independence.There is a need to give media a particular priority because they have an enormous impact on society. It’s about time that now the media makes the future where gender equality is a reality on screen, on radio, in the newspapers, including in the social media. This is where we, youth and women, NGO’s and activists come on stage, as we are the ones working on the grassroots level and can approach both media and local people thus having a bigger and more visible impact. We will bring the local realities from each community and country into the common portal for reporting where beside the information shared on local level, will be shared with the rest of the local partner communities, so our women voices are heard and equality is becoming more promoted and inspired.
