All our education originates from Friends, Sweden. Our focus is to provide knowledge and tools to adults in schools, sports clubs and other organizations to support their bullying prevention work.
Our educations include theory, workshops and actionable exercises for their continued bullying prevention work. We work with a whole organization approach, and a norm-critical approach permeates all our educations.
Our goal is for each organization to be equipped with knowledge and tools to work with bullying prevention – for a long-term, sustainable change.
All our educations originates from Friends in Sweden, founded in 1997. We offer stand-alone sessions as well as a multi-year program.
