“Social Media AbUse” (SMAU) Project is based on the observation carried out by the youth organizations across Europe, that points out that the use of Technologies of Information and Communication (TIC) by young people often exceeds the constructive limits. It has been noticed that there is the need to carry out a project that addresses the issues of the use and misuse of TIC and social networks, in which the educators often feel as they are not competent enough and they do not have the proper tools and knowledge to prevent and intervene. Whilst some intervention projects take place in a formal-educational context, there is a lack of such projects in a non-formal-educational field. SMAU project aims to provide young people and youth workers with the proper competence to detect and to intervene in the process of the misuse of social media.SMAU Project is an innovative proposal to achieve the objectives of strategic associations in the context of youth related with training of youth professionals, innovation, TIC and REA use, as well as the priorities for 2014.The project brought together nine partners from four countries: Spain, France, Slovenia and Germany, two from each country and the coordinator (from Spain). The partners are organizations with competence and experience in the field of youth professionals training and social intervention in youth, with prior European paths and experience in the field of TIC. However, the project started with seven partners as the German partners withdrew.The project aims at two groups: youth workers and young people aged 15 to 25. It has been based in the principles of non-formal education that allow active participation and adaptation of the actions to the participants’ realities.The project aimed not only at the participants who are directly involved in its activities, but also – through the dissemination of the results and the outputs - at the largest number possible of people, both youth workers and young people aged 15 to 25 and other interested parties, such as families, public institutions, youth centers, associations etc. both at a local, regional, national and international level.The goals this project achieved are:-Increasing young people’s awareness of the misuse of social media and TIC;-Involving young people with fewer opportunities, through the participation in the project of the partners and professionals who daily work with young people, who have educational difficulties, ethnic minorities members, immigrant population descendants or whose families have socio-economic problems;-Defining and recognizing, at European level, the different forms of misuse of social media and TIC;-Promoting proper forms of use of social media and TIC;-Providing young people with tools to recognize and fight against the misuse of social media and TIC, through the open educational resources created;-Improving professionals’ competences in the field of youth to intervene in case of misuses of the networks.To do so, the following elements were developed:-Teamwork among the partners to define the context and the contents;-Development of a research among young people and teams of educators in order to get to know the use of social networks and of the existing profiles. The results were gathered in the three participating countries;-Development of workshops targeted at young people in the three countries to work on topics of awareness and stances;-Creation of a “dissemination kit” made up of 5 infographics, the original in English and then translated into the languages of the project;-Dissemination of contents through the Internet, social networks and articles.The Project developed through three international meetings (in Madrid, Bordeaux and Litija), sessions (workshops) carried out in the three countries and the International Seminar in Madrid. The final output published was a guide about good practices for prevention containing the infographics in the four languages of the project (Spanish, English, French and Slovenian).SMAU allowed us to bring more than 720 children, 160 educators to the topic of cyberbullying. 17 people participated in the seminar.
