School Bullying and Violence

Best Practice: Overview

In this section of our website we present selected examples of good practice on school bullying and violence from different European countries. We assume that, in spite of all the differences between our countries in terms of cultural background and educational systems, there is much we can learn from each other.

The examples of good practice that we publish in this section are an outcome of the EU-project "Comparative analysis on methods successfully applied in the fight against bullying: training of trainers" funded by the Leonardo da Vinci Programme. From February 2008 on we will subsequently publish more than 50 examples of good practice from the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain and the UK.
