Creating Space for Constructive Debate to #EndCyberBullyingInOurGen
dtac is collaborating with the BMA Department of Education to organize the first annual debate on #EndCyberBullyingInOurGen. This debut year has seen 96 students from 32 BMA schools participating. Prior to the debates, all participants were trained in debate and communication skills, analyzing topics, and developing an understanding of cyberbullying issues from various angles.
The participating students come from the 200,000+ youths who engaged in over 1.44 million online discussions to develop 23 ways on how to end cyberbullying. The youth-led ‘mantras’ were developed through the campaign #EndCyberBullyingInOurGen
On Saturday 17th September, dtac organized 4 semi-final rounds of the Battle for Better debate to produce the finalists for the final round on Sunday 25th September.
