THE TOPIC |
|
Early school leaving is an issue affecting most schools, and often putting teachers and educational staff in front of a tough challenge. Despite their efforts in applying prevention and intervention measures, school staff is often unprepared to face the huge variety of real and potential situations of school drop-out. Among the factors contributing to it, bullying represents one of the major ones, as it hurts the victim by provoking psychological effects at individual and social level. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the possible causes and consequences involved in this complex phenomenon.
During this conference the participants will benefit from hearing other teachers' experiences, receive and give advice on the possible solutions and measures to be applied, for a common opportunity to grow and be ready to react the next time they will face this issue.
