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

Speaker

Ms Sigrid Houg (Student)

Description

Trygg Læring (Safe Learning) focuses on providing both students and staff in schools with training in thinking, methods, and tools that contribute to a lasting culture of peace. The goal is to create a safe and inclusive community where bullying, violence, and racism have poor conditions.
A central element is what is referred to as the peer-to-peer mindset, where students are seen as a resource in school environment work. The organization has its own youth group, Trygg Læring Ung (Safe Learning Young).
The workshop will be led by instructors from Safe Learning Young. It focuses on the transformative power of the peer-to-peer approach in the school environment.
The young people leading the session will share their experiences in conducting courses and training for students. They will also model how they conduct training in conflict awareness, conflict communication, and building safe and inclusive communities. The methodology is based on "Learning by doing," with circles, play, and reflection as central elements.

Seeing students as a resource in the work of preventing – and restoring – conflicts means that:
• Students contribute to preventive efforts by conducting workshops with activities that stimulate and contribute to a positive community.
• Students mediate disagreements/minor conflicts among peers without adult/teacher intervention.
• Students participate in promoting positive attitudes and behavior.
