Abstract

This research explores how a process drama workshop on cyberbullying can be carried out in digital space with adults, aiming to understand participants’ perspectives on cyberbullying and the workshop itself using online tools. During the research, process drama was used as a participatory research method. Participants from various cities in Türkiye created a dramatic fiction collectively and performed improvisations on cyberbullying. They evaluated the process drama workshop, and various drama strategies, and Web 2.0 tools employed during the workshop. They discussed how process drama can help in understanding cyberbullying issues, and they proposed various solutions to address the problem.
