Description

This is a school-based preventive program for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders (9-12 years old) to reduce bullying and victimization rates in primary school.
For two days, the teachers take part in a training seminar based on the content of the Teacher’s Manual, which provides detailed explanations of how the intervention activities should be implemented in the classroom. In addition to classroom activities, teachers organize meetings with parents to improve participation and awareness of the issue; leaflets are also distributed throughout the area surrounding the school.

Impact evaluations

An impact assessment showed that the program led to a 55.6% drop in bullying and a 55.4% drop in victimization in the schools that implemented it, compared to those that did not [1].
