Join us in Stavanger in 2025
Bullying is a serious, globally widespread, problem. Preventing and intervening against bullying is an international priority for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
The World Anti-Bullying Forum (WABF) is the largest international and multidisciplinary conference on the topic of bullying. The biennial conference brings together experts from various disciplines in the fields of research, practice, and policymaking. In 2025, WABF is hosted by the Norwegian Centre for Learning Environment and Behavioural Research in Education, University of Stavanger, in collaboration with FRIENDS and Partnership against Bullying Norway. It will take place on June 11-13, 2025.
The goal of WABF 2025 is to increase the understanding of bullying and other forms of violence and discriminating behavior, and to promote prevention and intervention against bullying across different contexts.
WABF 2025 will host discussions, panels, and meetings, such as scientific communications (symposia, oral and poster presentations), and workshops for policymakers and practitioners from kindergarten, schools, and other life-contexts where bullying may occur. As a multiprofessional and multidisciplinary conference, WABF 2025 invites contributions from different groups of practitioners, policymakers, and researchers from the fields of psychology, education, sociology, gender studies, media studies, social work, health sciences, public health, law studies, childhood studies, political science, philosophy, and criminology.
We are happy to welcome you to the WABF 2025, and to Stavanger!
