Botby grundskola school in Sweden is participating in an EU-funded project called Erasmus Minus Bullying with nine other schools across Europe. The project aims to develop best practices for preventing bullying and strategies for dealing with bullying. It also aims to increase student involvement in anti-bullying work and foster understanding of other cultures. Students will learn about the partner countries and improve their English and ICT skills through innovative teaching methods.

1. Erasmus Minus Bullying Partner countries Botby grundskola 10/2014
Botby grundskola participates in an EU granted Erasmus+ project with the title
Erasmus Minus Bullying. Practices in Prevention and Intervention in European
Schools. Together with nine other schools around Europe we will try to create
safer, violence-free, friendlier and inviting school environments. The aim and
need of our joined project is to develop good practices for the prevention of
bullying and clear strategies for dealing with bullying cases. In order to achieve
this we need new, student-centered approaches. Student involvement in anti-bullying
work is an effective way of bullying prevention. Each student should be
given responsibility to help create a school climate that reflects the values of
safety, respect and inclusion.
Another aim of our partnership is development of understanding of other
cultures. Students will develop their knowledge on partner countries, which
will be useful in the future for many school subjects, for example geography,
history, literature and art. The level of motivation to learn English and use in
practice will rise significantly. Furthermore, the ICT skills of both students and
teachers will improve when innovating teaching methods will be used in our
schools.
