CYBERBULLYING PEER AMBASSADORS NETWORK PLATFORM
Welcome to the Cyberbullying Peer Ambassadors Network Platform, where we strive to foster a supportive community dedicated to combating cyberbullying and promoting positive change worldwide. If you’re new here, allow us to illuminate the workings and offerings of this platform.
Our Platform serves as a dynamic hub for addressing pressing issues like cyberbullying, bullying, and an array of other topics spanning Education, Sustainability, Health, and more. We’re thrilled to introduce you to this digital space and encourage your participation in our mission for a better world.
Home Page – also known as the First or Main Page, you’ll find a comprehensive array of information options, features, menus, and everything you need to navigate the platform. This is your starting point for exploring all that the platform has to offer.
At the top of the page, you’ll find the Header, housing the Menu, which contains all the pages and categories available on the platform. Each button in the Menu directs you to a different page, option, or category. Additionally, on the right side of the Header, you’ll find the Search and Log In button. Clicking the Log In button allows you to either log in to the platform or register as a new user, conveniently accessible from the same button.
Just above the Header, you’ll notice a row of Flags, representing the six languages in which the platform is translated. These flags not only signify language options but also symbolize the countries involved in CPAN Project which is an Erasmus + project. By clicking on one of the flags, the platform automatically translates into the language corresponding to the selected flag or country.
Moving on to the main body of the Home Page, you’ll find general information, various categories to explore, and the latest profiles of ambassadors (more about them later in this guide).
Towards the bottom of the Home Page, you’ll discover quick links, contact information, and social media links. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to subscribe to the Newsletter, ensuring you stay updated on platform news and events.
Before proceeding to the next page or menu, let’s explore the option to register on the platform. Registering is a simple process that can be accessed through the person icon located near the search circle on a computer or via the header on a mobile device.
As mentioned earlier, clicking the button with the person icon will redirect you to the Log In page. Here, you’ll find fields for entering your Username or Email Address and Password. If you’re not already registered, below these fields you’ll see the word “Register,” which provides the option to register for the platform. The registration process is straightforward: simply click on “Register,” enter your desired username and email address, and then click on “Register” again.
If you prefer to view the content in a language that you’re more comfortable with, you can easily switch to it. Simply navigate to the language options in the drop-down menu, select your preferred language, and then click on the ‘Change’ button. The website will automatically update and display the content in the language you’ve chosen.
After completing this step, you’ll receive an email from the server containing instructions for setting up your password. It’s important to remember your password, as you’ll need it each time you wish to log in to the platform.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll gain access to various features that allow you to contribute to the platform, which will be elaborated on later in this guide.

Its primary objective is to foster meaningful discussions among users, particularly focusing on pertinent topics such as cyberbullying and bullying. However, the Forum isn’t limited to these subjects; users are encouraged to initiate discussions on a wide range of topics, thereby enriching the platform with diverse perspectives and insights.

The Forum provides a space where young people can voice their opinions, share experiences, and engage in constructive dialogue on issues that matter to them.
