No Bully Portugal - Promoting safe school environments without bullying

We are a non-profit association created in 2016 with the vision of building a country without bullying, where all youth feels happy and safe. We train school communities to provide them with the tools to prevent, stop, and resolve bullying, using a methodology that promotes empathy among students.

We are a non-profit association created in 2016 to end bullying in Portugal, through Empathy. Our Vision is creating a country without bullying, where all youth feels happy and safe. We work with schools to provide them with the necessary tools to prevent, stop, and resolve bullying among students. This is achieved through training for the entire school community, using a methodology that promotes empathy among students, instead of blaming and punishing the “bully” or ignoring behaviours.

Our current training sessions are the following:

For students:
  • we facilitate class sessions to understand bullying and other types of violence and how to face them in a positive way;
  • we create teams of volunteer Ambassadors who will be on the “front line” to identify cases of bullying and solve simple situations in collaboration with adults;
  • we promote group sessions to develop socio-emotional skills such as self-management and empathy.

For parents:
  • we give workshops to understand what bullying is and prevent young people from becoming targets or bullies;
  • we teach parents to understand what is happening with their children by identifying signs of being involved in bullying. They work on empathy and active listening techniques so they can help them talk about how they feel and think of positive strategies to stop bullying.

For Teachers and school staff, there are two levels of training:

  • the basic level, to understand what bullying is, how to prevent it and respond if they see it;
  • the advanced level for those who want to learn how to solve active cases of bullying.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have created an online campaign called “BE KIND ONLINE” to empower high school and university students to use their voices to stop cyberbullying. On our Instagram page, we have promoted content made by the students with tips to respond to cyberbullying, videos with dozens of people saying “no to bullying,” live sessions with influencers, and testimonials of bullying targets.

Does leadership learn? Study shows that 52% of managers consider “being born with a leader profile”

COMPANIES AND INCLUSION

The Inclusive Community Forum participated in RTP's Sociedade Civil and shared insights about inclusion of people with disabilities in Portuguese companies.

Zona de Impacto: Mentalities evolved; however, women are still discriminated in the job market. Why?

Statistics are known. Women have a higher qualification rate than men, but they receive less (for the same jobs) and are more precarious. When it is time to reach roles of responsibility, they have a harder life (and, as the companies get bigger, the worse it is). The topic is old, solutions take a long time to produce effects, and this worries the youth. Marta Everard and Rita Mendes, students at NovaSBE and members of the club Women on Board, explain how they perceive their labor’s future
