Abstract

The EU-funded project “Comparative analysis on methods successfully applied to fight against bullying: training of trainers” brings together a group of several educational and training entities from Spain, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom.

The project aims at facing the bullying phenomenon through a set of innovative measures developed from a transnational approach. The main contribution of this project is the development of training methodologies, specifically addressed to trainers / teachers in the detection of bullying and in the application of concrete responses that will allow them not only to solve the problem once it is detected but also to prevent it.

The project will result in two main products: First, a manual of best practices will be created that gives background information on selected innovative projects, programmes, initiatives and campaigns from all partner countries.  The project’s second main product will be a training methodology that primarily addresses trainers in order to provide them with background knowledge, support and materials for training courses targeting trainers and teachers. The project’s products and outcomes will be made available online in order to reach a broad International audience. We hope to create a learning environment, an atmosphere of active involvement and participation, based on knowledge and experience from other countries  which can help each other to learn, what  a phenomena of violence is . In the case of bullying and intimidation, as rightly Moore has indicated  to know  “what is meant by bullying, the extent, the signs, the effects, the causes, preventive strategies, how to deal with victim/bully problems and develop a school policy to counter bullying“.
