 Today in class, my group and I have presented an intervention proposal for primary school children to prevent bullying, especially in the school environment. We think it is an interesting proposal adapted in a simple and visual way to exemplify the emotional and social consequences that bullying can have on the person who harasses it and the power that the people around it have to influence it. This activity has the purpose of reflecting on children and trying to increase their prosocial behavior by reducing the various behaviors or coping in a different way in these situations.

The activity we shared at class was to watch a short video that shows a situation and, next, answer the questions we proposed. The questions were:

  • How do you think the hedgehog feels at the beginning?

  • How do you feel about the hedgehog?

  • If you were the hedgehog, would you react the same way? How would you feel?

  • If you were in that situation, would you act like the other animals?

  • What do you think the hedgehog does when it sees that none of its friends want to come close or play with them?

  • How do the other animals react when they see the hedgehog?

  • How do you think the hedgehog feels when they give them the gift and help them?

  • How does the hedgehog’s attitude change after receiving the gift and help from its friends?

  • Do you think the video resembles something that could happen at your school?


Finally, we wanted to make a reflection, asking if they think that it happens in real life like in such as at school, in extracurricular activities....

  • After watching this video, what conclusions can you draw? What has it made you think about?


The video from which the activity will be done will be this children's animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64LNwrd0fHg

New Definition of Bullying

 Hi everyone! The World Anti-Bullying Forum, together with UNESCO, created a Working group for establishing a new definition of school bullying. Its new definition keeps the idea that bullying requires unwanted repetitive aggressiveness and imbalance of power, and adds the idea that this power imbalance is supported by societal and institutional norms. The emphasis is now in the idea that bullying is not an affair among students but a social process. The new definition is this one: School bullying is a damaging social process that is characterized by an imbalance of power driven by social (societal) and institutional norms. It is often repeated and manifests as unwanted interpersonal behaviour among students or school personnel that causes physical, social, and emotional harm to the targeted individuals or groups, and the wider school community. You can find the document where it is explained  here . Fes

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...

The Simpsons: Bull-E

  Bull-E - The Simpsons (Season 26, Episode 21) The Simpsons has reflected bullying as a complex issue through their episodes, whether through Bart’s pranks, Nelson’s struggles, or Springfield’s collective response, the show highlights the importance of addressing bullying thoughtfully and empathetically.  Many schools and communities have anti-bullying policies, but the debates arise about how to enforce them without oppressing free expression or over-penalizing minor infractions. The episode of The Simpsons reflects these concerns by showing the challenges of finding a balance. It highlights how good intentions, like preventing bullying (passing an Anti-Bullying law), can sometimes go way too far, leading to unintended consequences. Also, it brings up the difficulty of bullying’s definition, what feels like bullying to one person might seem harmless to another, that is Homer’s storyline, which reminds us that our words and actions, even if unintended, can impact on others d...
