Feedback and reviews are much appreciated!

This module is part of the Be Strong Online programme, a new resource from The Diana Award and Vodafone to help students explore the digital world.

The programme will cover everything from gaming and selfies to privacy, apps and social networking. Be Strong Online uses a peer-to-peer format: each module provides all the resources needed for teachers to train a small group of students (who we call the ‘Tech Trainers’) to deliver short lessons to other students in the school.

This team of Tech Trainers can then be brought together again to deliver further modules which will be released over the coming months.

This peer-to-peer format format is based on the highly successful methods used by the Diana Award Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme, which provides anti-bullying training to schools and youth organisations. We have trained over 16,000 young people in the UK to be Anti-Bullying Ambassadors: young people who are responsible for raising awareness of bullying, leading campaigns, and ensuring the safety of their peers both online and offline. We recognise that young people are the best agents for change in schools. We aim to give them the confidence and skills they need to tackle bullying, and adopt a whole school focus to change the whole school’s attitude towards bullying.

The Diana Award has teamed up with Vodafone to create Be Strong Online, using the peer-to-peer approach to empower students and enable them to share knowledge about the digital world. The programme is designed to feed into the curriculum: areas of computing, citizenship, and PSHE are covered and will be pinpointed in each module.

But it will also cover a wider range of topics to look at all aspects of young people’s digital lives. Not just privacy and online communication, but looking too at social media, gaming, selfies and more. By delivering Be Strong Online, students will develop a number of skills including public speaking, leadership and mentoring.

The first module in this programme, Be Strong Online, explores the issue of cyberbullying. Do you think that cyberbullying is, or might be, a problem in your school or youth group? This module enables students to open up a discussion about the issue with their peers.

This module offers a short, introductory exploration of cyberbullying by discussing:

◯ What it means to be emotionally resilient
◯ Supporting friends who may be being cyberbullied
◯ What it means to be an ‘upstander’ to bullying

Whether or not you have had Anti-Bullying Ambassador training in your school or youth group, Be Strong Online provides the opportunity for older students to raise awareness of the issue of cyberbullying to younger students, signpost sources of support, and encourage positive online behaviour.
