We’re proud to be part of the Respect Connect #ErasmusPlus project, an initiative committed to preventing bullying and cyberbullying and building safe, inclusive, and respectful schools for children across Europe. 
A recent survey on bullying prevention confirms what we’ve long known: schools, teachers, families, and students all agree that preventing bullying is essential for healthy development, learning, and well-being. 
Recent Europe-wide research from WHO/Europe shows that bullying and cyberbullying remain real, measurable issues for young people:
Around 1 in 6 adolescents reported being cyberbullied, and about 11 % reported being bullied at school, with online harassment increasing as digital life expands.
These findings make one thing clear:
Bullying still affects students’ well-being, sense of safety, and school experience. Effective bullying prevention strategies are essential, not optional. Schools, teachers, families, and communities need practical tools, training, and support to keep kids safe and thriving.
That’s exactly why Respect Connect matters, bringing research-based resources, digital tools, and inclusive strategies to strengthen school climates and promote empathy, resilience, and respect every day. 
Together we’re shaping a future where every child feels safe, valued, and supported, both offline and online!
