National
Manifesto Against Bullying |
|
|
 |
In Norway we can talk about dildos, orgasm and whatever but not
bullying. Because it is seen as a social shame if your child is
being bullied. So how can we get this out in the open to talk about
it. We did it and we had to get legislation in place. So I received
a marching order from 60,000 kids in Norway. Trond - stop it now!
So I identified the strongest in Norway who have power and I asked
them to sign a manifesto against bullying. The teacher union, they
hesitated for two weeks when we had a massive meeting. The biggest
parents organisation in Norway and the one representing the ownership
of the principalities for schools. And I asked the Prime Minister,
are you willing to go on this? But you have to read what it says
because it said that bullying in Norwegian schools, within two years,
should be history. And they signed - they felt trapped, they said
afterwards because they could not say that in the meeting. And now
it's been one year and two months and it's been an enormous activity.
Every principality has now signed up, commitment and it's about
leadership. We have produced millions of different types of courses
for teachers, mayors and local politicians so that they can be involved
in seeing the child, not only inside the school but also outside
the schools, and also parents. But most of all we managed to get
the legislation in place after a fight with parliament went very
close to and managed to get the legislation in, an extra article
in legislation of education saying that you give the child an individual
right to have a good learning environment, which means physically
and psychologically. It passed in parliament on 1st April this year
combined with that it was fully integrated with the Conventions
on Human Rights in October this year, so the legislation is now
in place and it is a strong instrument. And I believe that we are
going to manage it, we are going to do it. |
