Workshop Proactive strategies and prevention of bullying and cyberbullying Room: Snønuten

Speaker

Mr Andreas Nilsson (Ombud for barn og unge i Akershus, Buskerud og Østfold)

Description

A practical workshop where you will get the chance to try two different “boxes” in how to combine a theoretical knowledge about bullying with different tasks on how to implement the Norwegian Education Act chapter XII and the Norwegian Kindergarten Act chapter VIII.
By using Escape room methodology, we give teachers in both kindergarten and schools a practical knowledge of how to full-fil the intention of the Education and Kindergarten Act ensuring giving all children and pupils a safe school environment.
By combining a theoretical and practical approach you’ll get tool on how to use a new pedagogic method / didactic. By working together under stress, you’ll hopefully learn how to handle situations when bullying occurs and become more aware of your role as a professional.
The workshop will be held in English and Norwegian. The different tasks/puzzles you have to solve in the “Escapebags” are all in Norwegian.
