About the Project
Bullying and cyberbullying are growing concerns across Europe, especially for children aged 8–12, a key stage in their social and emotional development. These issues harm mental health, well-being, and academic success, making it urgent to find effective prevention strategies.
The Respect Connect project addresses this challenge by promoting inclusion, diversity, and social-emotional learning (SEL) in schools. Its main innovation is a gamified app that helps students practice positive choices in real-life bullying and cyberbullying situations. An educational kit with lesson plans and teacher resources supports its integration into classrooms, making prevention engaging and sustainable.
Through international teacher training and collaborative activities, the project also equips educators to address sensitive topics such as diversity, mental health, and equality. By placing student well-being at the center, Respect Connect fosters safe, supportive, and inclusive school environments where every child feels valued.
