Its
All about Being Nice On The Net!

Please join in our campaign to reduce the effects of cyberbullying on
all internet users and in particular children who are bullied
at school.
Our
Campaign Aim:
To
promote Act Against Bullying’s values and beliefs in motivating
and inspiring others primarily but not exclusively to help children
who are bullied at school in the following way:
1.
To attract all internet users to the cause to aid Act
Against Bullying in counteracting cyberbullying of children.
2.
To raise awareness of the positive benefits that kindness and recognition
of civilised behaviour on the internet can have on the esteem of all,
but primarily that of young people.
3.
To engender goodwill across social networking sites used by young people
to enhance and nurture peaceful and cooperating relationships for the
good of all.
Why
This Campaign Came About
Social networking is now not just a way of life, but the way of life
for so many—and young people in particular. However, with cyberbullying
on the increase right across the social spectrum we are urging to join
in AAB’s Cyberkind Campaign.
In
other words, let’s get out there into cyberspace and counter the
negative effects of unpleasantness on the net. After all, didn’t
the internet begin with a community of open-minded, free-sharing people
who were passionate about sharing information and developing a means
of communication available to all? Of course that was before spam, before
internet marketing, before cyberstalking, etc.
How
You Can Be Involved.
Here
is a chance to promote and reward any kind acts on the internet. Our
goal is to create goodwill and as a result reduce the incidents and
effects of deliberate malice. so how can you do it?
1.

efforts with our campaign award. Coming soon.
