Internet-Without-Bullying

Under the #InternetWithoutBullying campaign, MTS and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Belarus presented a series of video stories based on the real stories of children who experienced cyberbullying to voice the problem of cyberbullying and to describe help tools. Customers of telecom stores can also support the project and get an art sticker pack as a gift by visiting the mobile operator's flagship offices on November 11 and 12.

MTS and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Belarus have collected 8 real stories of children and adolescents who experienced bullying on the Internet. These written stories were used as a basis for shooting videos voiced over by video bloggers, the Teacher of the Year, the titled Belarusian cybersportsman, and the girl who scored 400 points at the Centralized Testing. Each participant of the online project has read a story on behalf of a child who suffered from cyberbullying. The videos describe how children coped with online bullying, what help tools they used, and where they found support.

The video stories based on real events can be watched on the MTS YouTube channel, on the website of the #InternetNoBulling project; the video stories are also played back prior to the evening movies at the Silver Screen cinema chain in Minsk and Grodno.

Visitors of the MTS mobile shops can join the initiative, support the project and get an art sticker pack as a gift on November 11 and 12, too. The stickers have been drawn specially for the #InternetWithoutBullying project by a children's artist.

This special promotion will be held in the main MTS mobile shops in the capital city and in regional centers from 15:00 to 20:00 for two days. Locations of the MTS mobile shops: Minsk (95/1-24 Nezalezhnosti Avenue), Mogilev (Mironova Street, 21-46), Gomel (Krestyanskaya Street, 26), Brest (Masherov Avenue, 46-22), Grodno (Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, 3), Vitebsk (Builders Avenue, 8, bldg. 2).

#InternetNoBulling is a joint campaign by MTS and UNICEF in Belarus aimed at preventing bullying of children and teenagers on the Internet. Under the project, special training videos and test simulators have been made to provide more information on cyberbullying and to teach online safety to children.

In addition, MTS and UNICEF in Belarus have been jointly promoting various assistance tools for children and adolescents in difficult situations: a hotline and online expert consultations.

You can support the project by sending USSD *222*22# or by using the My MTS mobile app.
