EUCPN webinar: ECPA winners on bullying

Despite bullying being a common phenomenon, the public, schools and governments are often not fully aware of the severe and long-lasting consequences it can cause for the individuals involved and their surroundings. To exchange information and practices, the Slovenian Presidency of the EUCPN focused on bullying and violence among minors, and on 9 December 2021 they announced the winners of the European Crime Prevention Award.
