Information about the project
CONCIENCIA, a contest to fight against ciberbullying in Colombian schools
In 2016, the Colombian Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications and Pony Malta, a well-known beverage brand, decided to create a contest named CONCIENCIA. This competition vows to change digital awareness and find new ways to dealing against cyberbullying between children and young people in schools (from elementary to high school). CONCIENCIA proposed Colombian students, teachers and schools to use their creativity to produce advertising campaigns against cyberbullying, from their point of view. The contest received 3.153 proposals from students throughout the country that expose cyberbullying, address problems related with it and create successful mechanisms to fight against it.
