Svalbard Parents invited to evening on exclusion and bullying
Longyearbyen's parents and other adults can attend an event on how to tackle exclusion and bullying on Monday 9 November, from 17.30 to 19.30 at Longyearbyen kulturhus, the local council (Longyearbyen lokalstyre) said.
The speaker is Jon-Halvdan Lenning, the bullying ombudsman (mobbeombud) for Troms. Participants will learn what can lead to exclusion and bullying, and how adults can help build safe communities, the council said.
The programme also offers practical tools for strengthening friendships and preventing bullying, with a chance to discuss challenges and solutions with others. It is aimed at parents, teachers, coaches and other adults around children and young people.
Registration is through a link on the council's website. Longyearbyen school, the children and young people and kindergarten unit, and the culture and sport unit are organising the evening.
