Bullying can include physical violence, sexual assault, threats, teasing, social exclusion, or other psychological violence. The presence of bullying is often a sign of aggressive or violent behavior elsewhere in children's lives, and young children may enact at school or elsewhere what they have observed and learned at home.
One of the main goals of this project is to engage youth workers in anti-bullying work through nonformal education methods and to empower them for future educational work among youth. This promotes youth work and participation, which will work with youth who have fewer opportunities. All these values are in line with the expectations of many Europeans.
Because bullying and cyberbullying come in many forms today, youth workers must and can learn how to defeat bullying in their daily activities in order to provide a safe place and activities where youth can learn the skills and competencies that will help them resolve conflicts and problems peacefully and learn to live with diversity on a daily basis. Therefore, organizations from 4 countries decided to initiate this project, whose goals are to investigate these manifestations and to implement and apply new and effective strategies to prevent them, to create a tolerant culture, and to promote a safe space in their work with youth.
