• Discussion ouverte sur le cyber-intimidation et les situations dans lesquelles nous pourrions trouver du harcèlement en ligne,
• La différence entre quelqu'un qui est un intimidateur et quelqu'un qui est juste méchant.
• Un jeu de style télévisé « Est-ce l'intimidation » où les élèves travaillent en dyade pour choisir si une situation ressemble ou non à de l'intimidation.
• Comment soutenir un victime d'intimidation?
• Quels conseils donnerons-nous à des victimes d'intimidation?
• Comment réagir si NOUS sommes intimidés?

Les fiches d'activités imprimables de cette ressource incluent :
