Contrastare il fenomeno del Cyberbullismo a scuola: strategie preventive e interventi educativi per un ambiente digitale sicuro
Parole chiave:
Cyberbullismo; Prevenzione; Fattori protettivi; Fattori di rischio.Abstract
Il contributo intende esplorare il fenomeno del cyberbullismo, analizzandone le caratteristiche principali e le strategie di prevenzione. Viene sottolineato come esso, pur avvenendo online, sia strettamente legato all'ambiente scolastico, con bulli e vittime spesso presenti nella stessa scuola. Le istituzioni scolastiche sono anche identificate come un punto focale per la prevenzione e la gestione di questo fenomeno, attraverso politiche specifiche, programmi educativi mirati e il coinvolgimento di studenti, genitori e insegnanti e dell’intera comunità territoriale. L’intento è quello di evidenziare l'importanza di un approccio integrato e sistematico, che include forme supportive adeguate per le vittime e azioni di recupero per i bulli, nonché interventi di formazione degli insegnanti e dei genitori su come monitorare e proteggere i giovani online. Viene anche discussa la questione dell’importanza delle tecnologie quali strumenti di prevenzione, che possono trasformarsi da potenziali fattori di rischio a fattori protettivi quando opportunamente, responsabilmente e consapevolmente impiegate.
