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.

So interesting. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, 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.
ReplyDeleteReading 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.
