Project Summary

In the 21st century , in a society of globalization , with a very sophisticated technology, in which ideologies promote equality and human rights , bullying affects millions of people, especially children and teenagers all over the world .This unwanted, aggressive behavior seems to be repeated over time and both children and teenagers who are bullied and those who bully their peers may have very serious and lasting behavior problems , especially at a difficult age when the self identity and the acceptance in a social group are the most important for the future adult. That’s why a 14-16 years old –target group has been chosen because it is the passage to high school , to different environment, to new colleagues, and everything seems to be difficult and frightening . These are the proper conditions and the perfect age for bullying.In this respect, two examples can be given : two Romanian high school girls committed suicide : one of them, a 15 year old girl died, the other was saved in the last moment . This is the main reason why Romania decided to be the coordinator of this project.The situation is worse in partner countries.
The methodology would be inclusive and collaborative. Creating debates and sharing valuable experiences by the participant teachers.The methodology will try to wake up the sense of responsibility on the teachers,parents and students( problemssolutions).
Expected results:The information, training and awareness will contribute to reduce negative behaviors.Participant schools will integrate the results and conclusions of the teacher training course by: long term strategy on the different schools in collaboration with psychologist, police, social workers and authorities.
