Cyberbullying. How to Deal with this Phenomenon using the Restorative Justice Paradigm

Abstract

Due to the negative impact cyberbullying has on adolescents’ health, there is a great attention on preventing such situations in schools. The action research approach carried out in one school will be illustrated, focusing on the methodology adopted. The meetings organized in school aimed at creating a restorative attitude among students, by using dialogue and negotiation of conflicts, recognizing the different roles of all actors involved and their different motivations, with the possibility to find common solutions and better tools to face possible episodes of cyberbullying.
