COLLABORATION FORUM

From the point of view of the analysis of new forms of juvenile delinquency, cases of classroom violence and bullying at school are one of the greatest concerns for today’s society, with the use of new technologies also coming into the equation, giving rise to cyberbullying. Concern in this matter has led the International Juvenile Justice Observatory, through its International School for Juvenile Justice, to set in motion an innovative training action on the subject of school bullying and coexistence. It would also like to pose the following questions on the phenomenon of violence and bullying in schools:

Which resources and mechanisms are fundamental to breaking the cycle of violence and bullying in the school context?
