Research into bullying at school

Within the framework of the Joaquim Molins Figueras Family Policies Classrooms, the IESF undertook some research on the issue of bullying via a focus group. This qualitative methodology promotes the incorporation of opinions from a wide range of people involved in a specific phenomenon. 

More than thirty experts, academics, teachers, parents, psychologists, mediators, directors of juvenile detention centres, and judges, etc. all came along to UIC Barcelona on 24 February and 3 and 10 March to attend this event.

The aim was to create a map of the main academic trends, to underline the most successful programmes at an international level and to cooperate with the Department of Teaching in the Catalan Government on future actions in this field. 

Once the research part is complete a report will be presented containing proposals for educational and family policies.
