Description

Bullying and cyberbullying do not stop at the classroom door. They affect wellbeing, participation, relationships and the wider learning community.

This six-day learning experience equips educators and professionals with practical tools to recognise, prevent and respond to bullying and cyberbullying, while building safer and more supportive learning environments.

The course draws directly on KMOP's long-standing work with children, parents and educators and on the Live Without Bullying initiative, which has supported more than 45,000 people in Greece.

Participants work with real-life scenarios, prevention and intervention approaches, online-safety challenges and whole-organisation strategies. The programme combines structured training with case-based learning, professional exchange and practical reflection.

Because we do not only train. We implement.
