 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

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...
