▶Objectives
The project aimed to increase parental involvement in bullying-prevention efforts for neurodivergent children by strengthening the partnership between parents and school staff. It sought to train parents so they could actively support and co-lead educational and anti-bullying activities in their child’s classroom, becoming competent actors in creating inclusive school environments. Another key objective was to develop a comprehensive set of educational support materials—multimedia open educational resources and printable guides for their use—designed to promote empathy, respect, and positive behaviour among students. Through pilot activities in inclusive schools, the project aimed to empower parents to better understand bullying mechanism, address incidents effectively, and reduce risks for neurodivergent learners. Ultimately, the project intended to foster sustained cooperation between families and schools, increase awareness of neurodiversity, and promote long-term inclusion within the educational community.
