Abstract

This article seeks to understand the impact of the Educational Project of the Center (PEC) in theimplementation of prevention programs on the Internet and cyberbullying in formal educationinstitutions. The paper takes as a case study the analysis of the PEC, disciplinary cases of cyberbullying and the interview with students, tutors and teachers participating in the program promoted by Torre del Palau de Terrasa High School in the last four years to know their perception. The data highlights the importance of the way in which ICT and cyberbullying areinstitutionally assumed to favor the empowerment and positive assessment of the analyzed program. The education system must make an effort to establish alliances with other educational actors interested in the prevention of the topic addressed here, that help strengthenthe institutional structure by implementing different methodologies and forms of work, discussion and accompaniment scenarios, guiding and training all members of the community.
