Cyberbullying, and how can education help?

OECD is hosting a webinar Q&A Cyberbullying, and how can education help? on 27th April 2022 at 3pm.

The omnipresent nature of the digital environment brings seemingly limitless opportunities for children, but it also brings risks such as cyberbullying that follow children from the school yard into their homes. Cyberbullying has emerged as a high priority policy concern in education systems around the world. A rapidly expanding body of literature sheds insights into what cyberbullying is, who is likely to be bullied, who is likely to do the bullying, and what this means for children’s education and well-being.

Join us for this webinar where we will discuss these issues, underscoring the important roles education systems can take in responding to the challenge of cyberbullying.

Speakers include:

Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills
Sameer Hinduja, Co-Director of the Cyberbullying Research Center, United States
Lucy Bowes, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom
Francesca Gottschalk, Policy Analyst, Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, OECD
