Educational work concerning the issue of online violence takes place at the frontier between generations and between virtual and real, a methodological frontier whose complexity we can only attempt to understand through the testimony of those involved. This paper proposes examples of a range of testimonies gathered through letter writing during peer education activities.
Key words: Online Violence, Cyberbullying, Peer Education, Testimony
