The goals of the project are: 1. Disseminating the idea of preventing peer violence with promoting the well-being and mental health of students in order to counteract social and educational exclusion of children, and in consequence of social and professional exclusion in adulthood, 2. Raising the awareness of school employees and parents about the processes of preventing bullying and cyberbullying in schools, 3. Reducing the exclusion of people with fewer opportunities in schools (these people are most exposed to bullying).
By running this project we wanted to influence tackling the problem of bullying and cyberbullying in the school environment. Our experiences in working with parents enabled us to find out the need to foster children by strengthening their emotional and social skills. The soft skills can minimize bullying and, consequently, the risk of social exclusion. Data analysis of effective anti-bullying programs show that it is important to create a program to support the classroom environment in developing social coexistence, prevention of the formation of excluded groups and the safety of people not inscribed in traditional norms. Engaging teachers and parents to the issues of peer help seems to be important in supporting the problem solving. Our motivation to run the project is also the widespread ignorance of adults about the difference between a conflict and psychological or relational violence.
