•Although most of the students don’t share their passwords, around a third have done it by giving their password to friends, acquaintances, and teachers.
•A little more than a quarter of school children know that the same laws and rights apply both online and in real life. About a third of children think that real-life rules don’t apply to cyberspace, because cyber world is not real, it does not reflect the reality, and it is anonymous. 40% of students did not have a firm opinion in this question.
•More than 40% of school children have seen sexual and/or violent content online, and almost as many have met someone they have met online in person.

- Governance - It is important that this project involves different agents of school and society. School management, teachers, other students (their parents), Union for Child Welfare etc - since they are the ones who can benefit most from the conclusions of the activity. NB! Please find out which foundations are actively working on your area for the benefit of child welfare
- Public engagement - Students will be able to make decisions collaboratively, with the participation of other schools involved with whom they can create an association with the aim of improving the results and conclusions obtained, sharing them with stakeholders. NB! Contact with partner schools, in order to spread the message and get more accurate information about cyberbullying. If its possible, conduct the survey in as many schools as possible.
The more information you have, the easier it is to come up with solution, which is really relevant and life-changing.
