The KA229 partnership I'M SAFE AT SCHOOL! brings together 6 highschools from different corners of Europe trying to tackle a problem,bullying, and its effects on our school life and the school progress of the bullied:loss of interest in school;reluctance to attend school;low grades;limited social contact and the bullies:low grades;anti-social behavior,drop out of school.This partnership was suggested by the Romanian highschool after analyzing the cases of bullying in their unit(reports of the previous 3 school years of the discipline committee)and observing an increase in number of bullying situations despite local initiative.The solution is an exchange of experience at European level.After a call for partners on eTwinning, the responses from Italy, Poland, Greece, UK and Turkey showed that the problem is also present in other countries.After applying surveys in January 2018(Psychological Sense of School Membership and the Rosenberg self-esteem scales and a set of psychosocial questions)and analysing our school discipline reports we established 4 objectives:O1. BY THE END OF THE PROJECT, THERE WILL BE AN AVERAGE INCREASE OF 40% IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO RESPOND FAVORABLY TO A SCHOOL SURVEY FOCUSED ON SELF-ESTEEM, THE FEELING OF BELONGING TO THEIR SCHOOL AND TO THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (AS SEEN IN THE PROGRESS OF RESULTS OF A SURVEY APPLIED AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP).O2.BY THE END OF THE PROJECT, THERE WILL BE AN AVERAGE INCREASE OF 60% IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO WILL KNOW HOW TO RESPOND OR REACT TO BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING(AS SEEN IN THE PROGRESS OF RESULTS OF A PSYCHOSOCIAL SURVEY APPLIED AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP).O3. BY THE END OF THE PROJECT, IN OUR UNITS,THE NUMBER OF BULLYING INCIDENTS WILL DECREASE(AS SEEN IN THE OFFICIAL SCHOOL REPORTS AND COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS REPORTS).O4.BY THE END OF THE PARTNERSHIP, PARTNERS WILL DEVELOP A COMMON BULLYING PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION ACTION PLAN.Activities for O1:Knowing our partners, understanding their life;presentations of other countries in the partnership;Workshops with a psychologist-building self esteem;My daily life as a young person in my country-video of daily activities;Communication through Facebook, Twinspace or Skype-Communicating with students from our partner countries;videos made in front of important buildings in each city in the partnership presenting their importance;Traditions and way of life-presentations, videos;LTT activities.These activities will build our students' self-esteem: the work methodology implies presentations,videos,conversation,demonstrations(students will leave their confort zone and surpass barriers);they will feel as part of a team;learn that teenagers do the same things everywhere;feel as part of a big European family;students will build their cultural identity;the positive feed-back of teachers and other students will increase self-esteem;students will socialize with other teenagers.Activities for O2,O3-cyberbullying:Avoid being vulnerable online-Analysis of the habits of children through an online questionnaire;Seminar-Knowledge of the laws that regulate behavior on the net;Workshop-Simulations of communication online;Workshop-Use of rules when posting photos and videos;communicating with students from partner countries.These activities are meant to inform students about the proper behaviour online.Students post photos and make comments,make their personal data public without knowing the risks.They also ignore that showing too much of their lives online can make them a victim of bullying.What is posted online is seen by everyone and it remains there to serious consequences for the bullied.Activities for O2,O3-bullying:workshop with psychologists and parents(what bullying is, how to see the signs of being bullied in my child,my child is a bully,how to approach the topic),the creation of a Facebook photo frame against bullying,of a common video against bullying,whole-school anti-bullying poem,a “travelling” story about bullying,theatre on the topic of bullying,creating a brochure on students’ rights and where to go for help,workshops “Aggression destroys us and our feelings” prepared by teenage students and carried out in schools.These activities:target at turning bullies and bullied into active anti-bullying promoters;are non-formal and informal,thus having a greater impact;are very open to society,students will feel they contribute to the life of their community and they will become advocates of a good behaviour.Activities for O4:round table-taking action against bullying-teachers,police representatives,local authorities;seminars for teachers in other schools-The importance of a comprehensive strategy against bullying- what we have learnt from our partners;LTT activities.There will be a very beneficial exchange of experience to find the best strategies and create an official school document.
