In Fes, the Euromed University hosted a major event bringing together more than 400 participants as part of the #ForGoodConnections initiative launched by Orange Morocco. The goal: to raise awareness and unite efforts against school bullying and its digital extension, cyberbullying.
Organized in a talk show format, this meeting allowed for the exchange of perspectives and expertise from a wide panel of stakeholders: institutional leaders, teachers, students, parents, civil society representatives, and cybersecurity professionals. All responded to the call from Orange Morocco and its partners to promote a healthier and more respectful use of digital technology.
This meeting was held with the support of several major institutions, including the Ministry of National Education, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN), the National Observatory for Children’s Rights (ONDE), the Digital Development Agency (ADD), and the ReSIS Morocco center. The discussions were enriched by impactful testimonies, expert analyses, and engaged artistic performances presented by students from the region.
The event concluded on a fun and educational note with the “Digital Workshops,” an outdoor activity in the form of a role-playing game that allowed participants to understand the dynamics at play in online bullying situations: victims, accomplices, and bullies.
For Hendrik Kasteel, General Director of Orange Morocco, this commitment is part of a broader vision: “Putting digital technology at the service of child protection and making technology a vector of inclusion and safety is a mission that is close to our hearts. We all have a role to play in building a more ethical and protective digital world.”
The #ForGoodConnections initiative aims to train more than 6,500 teachers and cover over 2,200 colleges across the Kingdom by 2026. Ultimately, the goal is to generalize this program to the entire national education system.
