Description
Summary
The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) provides materials in various forms, to support in-service training of the staff, professional learning and school development.
In 2022 Skolverket published a literature review about how to prevent bullying, harassment and abusive treatment. It summarizes the results of national and international research, in a context of how the Swedish education act, other legislation and curriculum state how to act for equal treatment by promotion, prevention and taking action. The literature review has a clear focus on the target groups and written in an easily accessible language.
Swedish Schools should promote a resilient democracy by teaching values, attitudes, skills and knowledge for an active citizenship in a safe inclusive school climate. Democracy Step by Step is a model for a systematic whole school approach on education for democracy in both formal and non-formal education. The Norwegian DEMBRA and Council of Europe´s Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture has been a benchmark for the Swedish model.

An opportunity for a conversation about how the knowledge, from research and proven experience, will be available and used at an organizing and classroom level in the school system.
