Prevent Bullying with the Roundies

Bullying is always a group-wide phenomenon, and it is always quite common in groups of children. The Roundies Empathy Wizards programme strengthens social skills, provides structures that prevent bullying in groups, and gives the children words and the tools they need to talk about friendship and the many facets of bullying.

Julia Pöyhönen and Heidi Livingston, both psychologists specialised in social and emotional learning in children, have developed this programme.

Designed for Early Childhood Education

Our high-quality programme includes an easy-to-use online service with training videos & pedagogical tips for educators and step-by-step lesson plans for Empathy Time with children. Programme also includes songs and printed material.

Training Materials for Educator

It is only when we understand bullying as a phenomenon in which all children’s needs must be seen and recognized that we can find and teach children new ways to face and deal with bullying. Then it also becomes possible to effectively prevent and eradicate the culture of bullying altogether.
