PR.I.S.C.I.L.LA: Educational Programme for Young People with Intellectual Disabilities on Internet Risks and Online Sexual Cyberbullying<\/b><\/p>\n

The PR.I.S.C.I.L.LA project was developed to prevent and protect against the risks of online sexual cyberbullying, an increasing threat linked to the widespread use of social media. The initiative focuses on young people aged 18 to 25 with intellectual disabilities, responding to the need for guidance and support for their safe and responsible use of social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of this effort, a specialised educational programme was created, structured around themes related to online safety and digital well-being. It is designed for implementation in environments attended by young people with intellectual disabilities, helping them use social media as a space for positive interaction, personal development, and self-expression. Its aim is to empower young people, enhancing their identity, self-awareness, and self-esteem, while reducing the risks of sexual harassment and cyberbullying.<\/span><\/p>\n
