This document summarizes the activities of a 12-week education program held at Mustafa Kemal Ortaokulu school in Turkey to prevent bullying. The program worked with 36 students identified as at-risk and included activities like regular exercise, healthy eating, social activities, and using peer educators to help refugee students adjust. Surveys and risk maps were used to identify at-risk students and monitor progress. Workshops addressed cyberbullying, drama was used to raise awareness, and information was shared with parents. Responses to bullying incidents ranged from meetings to suspensions depending on the severity of the case.

3. With the cooperation of Duzce University, a 12 week education programme
was held with students in the risk group at our school.
The study started with 36 students. It is objected to make sports and healthy
life a part of students’ daily life.
Students who do regular exercise, pay attention to healthy diets and healthy
nutrition have established healthy communication with their friends. It also
maintained teamwork successfully.
The status of the students were evaluated with a pre-test and a final test.

4. It is a PEER-EDUCATION study for the refugee students (who come
abroad) who have compliance problems and thus who are tend to
bully and perform bad temper.
To prevent these problems, among 57 refugee students who are
registered in our school, one ones who can speak Turkish are
chosen to give education to non Turkish speaking student.
The studies were transmitted to them by these students. Some
social activities like going to cinema take place.
The translator students carry a special bagde that define them.
They help others to practise Turkish language. They are together
during some school breaks to make the targeted refugee student
become more social, gain self confident and improve
communication skills.

5. Violence Perception Survey
A survey study to determine which behaviors the student
perceives as violence at home, at school, in the school
environment and on the internet, and to determine their level of
awareness about violence.

6. It is a study that helps with creating a class risk map applied at the
beginning of each academic year and can be a resource for maintaining
guided activities throughout the year.
The target students are the ones who have lack self-confidence, exhibit
antisocial behavior, have a negative attitude towards school, are excluded
from the classroom, are exposed to peer bullying, have a tendency to
violence, lack social life due to family opportunities.
This is an effective study for the identification of students.
Guidance studies are carried out throughout the year.
Students whose conditions are critical are directed to a higher institution
(RAM) or health institutions.
My Window of Life

7. It is a study that we implement throughout the school at the
beginning of each academic year.
The Classroom Risk Map is created in cooperation with the
guidance service of the Classroom survey results of the My Life
Window Questionnaire, observations of teachers who attend their
classes.
School risk map is created by utilizing the results of class risk
maps.
It is important to follow up the students who are thought to be at
risk after the classroom risk map is applied, and to cooperate
with the family and the guidance service in this process.
