Though bullying is a phenomenon that has been reported for decades in educational institutions, national and international research has provided a broader picture of the scope of the problem and has raised awareness for the importance of developing strategies in prevention. In Latin-American countries such as Colombia, a great effort is being channeled into preventive campaigns and public policies directed at early childhood, children, and youth. There is a clear commitment on behalf of not only the academy but also the government and the private sector in improving the well-being of this population. Register by October 23rd.
