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. |
