KiVa anti-bullying program is in place. KiVa is a bullying-prevention program developed by the University of Turku in Finland, based on decades of research, with materials and tools to help schools address harassment. The program has three pillars: Prevention, Intervention, and Monitoring. It provides prevention lessons for the relevant year groups, school-wide activities addressing bullying, informing students, parents, and staff, a structured intervention model, team training, and annual questionnaires to monitor progress. KiVa was implemented at EFIB in October 2023. For inquiries, kiva@efib.sk.
