CYBERBULLING EFFECTS PREVENTION
Project CREEP (Cyberbulling Effects Prevention) aims at identifying and preventing the possible negative impacts of cyberbullying on young people. It seeks to realise advanced technologies for the early detection of cyberbullying phenomena through the monitoring of social media and the communication of preventive advices and personalized recommendations tailored to adolescents’ needs through a virtual coaching system (chatbot).
Thanks also to the support of the Department of Health and Social Solidarity and the Department of Knowledge of the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy), Trentino region will become a living lab where cyberbullying will be analysed not only on the Web, but also through a survey administered to a representative sample of students and in-depth interviews with experts in the fields of education and health. In addition, students and teachers of some pilot classes of local middle and high schools will take part in educational and exploratory workshops, aimed at raising awareness on the phenomenon and testing the technological tools developed.
