Stop cyberbullying

Tongan students tackle cyberbullying through videos

Tonga College, Takuilau College, Ocean of Light and the ACT Community School each received 12 months of free Internet and $1000 pa’anga cash.

The schools participated in the STOP Cyberbullying Campaign organised by Talitha Project and Digicel Tonga.

Students were required to produce videos where they used songs and dances to create awareness about the problems of cyberbullying on children and teenagers.

They were also tasked to show how they would tackle the problems of cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying isn’t a problem limited to specific countries

In the Pacific, it’s becoming more and more common.

In Tonga, as the country continues to grow fast in its access to mobile and internet technology, cyber security and safety has become a key priority of the Government and Private Sector to ensure everyone plays their part in making a safer and secure online experience for all. 

It is about using the internet, mobiles, or other technology to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person.
