Asociación Española para la Prevención del Acoso Escolar


Hello everyone, today I wanted to share with you a web page about bullying that I have found. The website is called AEPAE which stands for Asociación Española para la Prevención del Acoso Escolar, or the Spanish Association for the Prevention of School Bullying. It is a non-profit Spanish organization made up of a team of psychologists, teachers, social workers, lawyers, self-defense experts, and even parents of bullying victims. All of them are working to prevent and fight bullying in schools across Spain.
The website offers information about bullying, cyberbullying, emotional education and the protocol to follow in those cases. It also provides training programs for professionals, workshops and tools for students, parents and teachers. AEPAE focuses on empowering students while also educating the adults around them. In addition, they have done national conferences and campaigns to prevent bullying.
Another great feature you can find on the site is that AEPAE organizes free summer camps for kids who have been victims of bullying, offering them a safe space to heal, connect, and build self-esteem. 
Reading about AEPAE and the work they do really makes me reflect on the importance of having dedicated organizations and people actively working to prevent bullying. What stands out to me about this website is the human commitment behind this initiative. How different professionals are all coming together for a common cause.
The fact that they include parents, teachers and victims in their work shows how important it is to involve the entire community in the fight against bullying. Sometimes we forget that bullying is not an individual problem, and it is actually a systemic one. It takes everyone to create a real change in our society. Since it is a non-profit organization, you can donate to the organization if you want to help too!

I believe that learning about this initiative helps us understand that we are not powerless against bullying. And that we can participate if we want to make schools safer. It has also reminded me of how crucial it is to say informed about the organizations in my country, because I did not know that AEPAE existed until I found their website.

    Hi, thank you for this great article, it was fascinating. I believe websites like this should be shared more widely, especially with parents, so they can better understand bullying and learn what to do if their child is being bullied or is bullying others.

    Reading this made me realize that preventing bullying isn’t just the responsibility of parents or schools, it requires the involvement of the whole community. I also really appreciate that the organization offers summer camps for kids, giving them a safe space to heal and grow.

    Additionally, I came across another helpful website: StopBullying.gov. It covers many important topics related to bullying and includes a variety of scientific articles on bullying and prevention strategies.

Brian Giner and PDA Bullying platform

  Following my last post, where I talked about the documentary Acoso Escolar from ARTE.tv, I caught my attention the figure of Brian Giner, so I decided to look into his book Golpeado pero no derrotado It’s a work for all ages in which he shares his personal experience during his school years. The author emphasizes that the book isn’t just meant for students, but also for parents and professors. Through his story, he hopes to raise awareness about the importance of taking action in cases of bullying. Apart from publishing his book, he also gives talks on bullying prevention to students in the first to third years of ESO in catalan high schools. Based on his own experience, Brian aims to shed light on cases like his so that victims don’t feel alone and can see an example of resilience. While researching his book, I came across a very interesting platform called PDA Bullying . It’s a collaborative initiative involving various institutions aimed at promoting best practices for the...

Salutogenic approach and a personal opinion

  As I briefly mentioned in my previous post, on the website called PDA Bullying , among various resources, there is a section dedicated to explain the Salutogenic approach . After doing some research, it becomes clear that this approach gets its name because its main goal is to promote health and well-being . The platform aims to address bullying from this perspective, adopting a strength-based approach that focuses on individuals' potential and the creation of a cooperative community working toward a shared goal . It slightly reminds me of the No Blame Approach we studied in class, as it also refers to a method based on compassion and a solution-focused outlook , rather than assigning blame. Their aim is not simply to act against bullying, but rather to overcome it , moving beyond a simplistic understanding of bullying as just a dynamic between two individuals. Instead, they view it as a broader social process . For this reason, the protocol designed and implemented by...

Guidelines for Bullying in German Schools

In Germany, the Ministry of Education published guidelines for schools on how to deal with bullying in schools. The following characteristics identify bullying: Intent to Harm, Repetition, Power Imbalance, and Helplessness. If bullying is detected, they provide teachers with 5 steps to follow. First, they should act immediately. This includes halting any aggressive behavior and ensuring the victim is safe. Also, they are obliged to assess if the already mentioned bullying criteria are met. Then, Teachers and school staff need to discuss the situation with colleagues to decide on the best course of action. This might involve engaging the victim and the bully in separate conversations and determining the next steps. Lastly, the victim should be provided with support to offer a safe school environment again In addition to the teacher guidelines, there are also ones for School Leadership Teams. First, they have to ensure that anti-bullying policies are being followed. This includes suppor...
