“Stop Bullying”
How to Understand, Support, and Protect
A two-day conference on bullying for adults who are close to children.
Understanding, practical tools, and real action — without fear-based messaging or blame.
Why are we talking about this
Bullying is not a conflict or a stage of growing up. It is systemic violence that can and must be stopped.
Bullying affects children’s emotional well-being, family atmosphere, academic performance, self-esteem and even a child’s future, so talking about it today is more important than ever.
Stop Bulling!
Our tools are both for parents and for specialists and helping practitioners working with children. The conference format brings together many speakers – psychologists, teachers, social workers and practitioners. We look at the problem of bullying from different angles: through the eyes of the child, parent, school and professionals.

Social anxiety
There is tension in communication, fear of evaluation, shame and awkwardness in social situations.
Emotional exhaustion and depressive states
Mood and energy decreases, and interest in things that used to be important is lost.
Distorted self-perception
Strengths and positive attributes are no longer felt or realized.
Social isolation
The person gradually distances himself from his surroundings, closes himself off, avoids contacts.
