Anti-bullying Activity - Interactive Posters UP2US

http://www.watchyourspace.ie/leading-the-interactive-poster-activity/ Added: 03 Mar 2016 Contributor: Webwise Resource type: Audio / Video / Lesson Plan

The interactive poster activity is a fun and easy way of spreading anti-bullying messages while making positive, creative and innovative use of technology. Using the poster grids, stickers and cut-out shapes provided in the Kit young people can design colourful posters with anti-bullying slogans.

The idea is that these posters will then be made interactive when students share a photograph of their poster on social media. This will contribute to creating a positive anti-bullying culture on social media sites using messages generated by young people and disseminated amongst their peers.

Peer Pressure - Just For Fun

https://vimeo.com/160080883 Added: 29 Mar 2016 Contributor: Webwise Resource type: Audio / Video

Just For Fun is a short animation addressing the issue of peer pressure and non-consensual sharing of images. It forms part of a new resource created to assist schools in coping with and preventing the sharing of explicit self-generated images of minors. Lockers comprises 6 lesson plans, two animations and information for school leaders.

Lessons focus specifically on the laws around sexting, on the peer pressure and stereotyping that can contribute to non-consensual sharing and on how students can get help when incidents of non-consensual sharing occur. One of the lessons also explores the practice of victim-blaming, through the For Your Eyes Only animation.

Non-consensual sharing and subsequent victim blaming can be as a result of a number of harmful gender stereotypes, media influences and peer pressure. This lesson gives students an opportunity to analyse the influence of peers in incidents of non-consensual sharing through the Just For Fun animation. Students can debate how peer pressure can contribute to the prevalence of non-consensual sharing of intimate content and a culture of victim blaming.

Lockers

http://www.webwise.ie/lockers/ Added: 29 Feb 2016 Contributor: Webwise Resource type: Case Study / Audio / Video / Lesson Plan

Lockers is an information and education resource. It assists schools in coping with and preventing the sharing of explicit self-generated images of minors. Lockers is the first Irish education resource of its kind to tackle the sensitive subject of sexting. Intended for use with Junior Cycle SPHE classes, the education resource is supported by two newly developed animations and six lesson plans. Lockers was developed to support schools as they address the issue of non-consensual sharing of intimate images (sometimes referred to as ‘revenge porn’), in the context of the SPHE class. The resource aims to foster empathy, respect and resilience and to help young people understand the consequences of their actions.

Suggestions for use: This resource is mapped to the Junior Cycle SPHE curriculum and is intended for use with 2nd and 3rd year students, as part of the RSE programme. However, this curriculum mapping shouldn’t be limiting. It is expected that the resource could be adapted for use with Senior Cycle students and particularly with Transition Year students. Certain activities could be used in English media studies classes and in religion classes.
