The Federation of Ikastolas of Navarra has held a press conference on the programme to combat bullying. In total, 15 ikastolas from Navarra incorporated the KiVa program, which affects 4,244 students and 739 workers. The partnership noted that the implementation of the programme was a “turning point”, with a “very positive” assessment. KiVa was developed by the University of Turkish in Finland. They emphasize that the results of the data from the last six years have been “positive”, according to the anonymous questionnaires sent by the university for follow-up.

He first entered primary school in 2016 and from 2019 he implanted him in ESO. The Ikastolas Confederation stressed that the “especially” program focuses on preventing bullying: “The key is to influence the attitude of the students, proposing a change in their attitude and perception. This is achieved through the didactic units that work in the classroom”.

The program also assumes the entire community of the ikastola and involves students, teachers, workers and parents: “Each ikastola has the KiVa group and all the students know they have to go to them.”

In 2009, the KiVa method was used in Finland to combat bullying or bullying. The number of aggressors was halved and the number of victims was one-third in a few years and implemented in almost all primary and secondary schools in the country. The success of the method caused the program to spread internationally and establish it in several ikastolas. Mikel García, international coordinator of the ARGIA programme, spoke in 2016 with Johanna Alan. Here you can read the interview about the program.

Wide range of materials

The partnership has listed the benefits of the programme. For example, they report that it offers a “broad range” of tools and materials that work every two weeks in tutoring. On the other hand, it offers a “clear model of intervention” in cases of bullying. In these times when cyberbullying is becoming more and more frequent, working material is also available in the program.

“Bullying is not only a global phenomenon, but also a social and collective phenomenon. Bullying has always been the main concern for the ikastolas of Navarra,” they said. They also stressed that it is “fundamental” for students to develop solid personal and social values to “build a better society”.
