Project Objectives

Bullying is serious problem in schools and it occurs throughout the world. Those who are bullied are more likely to be depressed ,to be unable to concentrate in class, to attempt suicide, to be afraid to go to school or to leave school.So we shouldn’t see bullying as a typical 'kids’ thing' to be ignored. We believe that bullying is promoted in an environment in which the problem is not taken seriously and that bullying can be reduced in an environment in which there is a consensus that any type of bullying will not be tolerated.

 

Our project aims to foster the cooperation among school staff, parents ,students and local authorities to have a common understanding of the problem and to see bullying as a serious issue. As indicated above the problem is a main challenge that all countries have to deal with to make schools safer places to learn and interact positively with others.To achieve this, we will exchange opinions and good practises with partner schools which have been tackling with the bullying phenomenon in the European aspect.We will focus on teenagers between14-18 years old.

 

Our project aims to make anti-bullying policy a part of organizational culture in each partner school. We will include the learning outcomes of mobility activities in our lesson curriculum and strategic plans of our schools as much as possible. All documents, videos, questionnaires and the information given in training events will be available on the e-twinning and web-page of the project. All people in involved schools and any interested people from different countries can reach the sources and use them in their schools to fight with bullying. In the e-booklet , there will be a graphic showing the rates of bullying at schools at the beginning and at the end of the project. Involved schools will use the questionnaire every 2 years after the project finishes and they will use the e-booklet including sample drama activities and fighting strategies with bullying and policy advices to create a safe school environment .
