28 September 2009The Australian Communications and Media Authority has recently launched Let’s Fight It Together, a new teaching resource to combat cyberbullying that will be available free to all schools in Australia.

Let’s Fight It Together is a comprehensive teaching resource including a seven-minute film depicting the story of a teenager who becomes the target of bullying via the internet and his mobile phone. The film shows a number of ways in which cyberbullying occurs, who it involves and how it can affect different people, including the teacher who, in the film, is also impacted.

The film is supported by resource materials designed for teachers to use with students in discussing and addressing issues raised in the film. The materials include a 40-page Teacher’s Guide to the Let’s Fight It Together resource, containing essential advice on preparing class discussions, follow-up activities, lesson plans and details of support material and resources for further advice and an 8-page overview, with details on how to identify, prevent and respond to cyberbullying incidents.

Let’s Fight It Together can also be used by other organisations working with, or for, young people, including training organisations, companies wanting to train their staff, police forces and libraries, among others.
