German initiatives against school and cyberbullying

Overview

Germany is implementing various strategies to address bullying among children and adolescents, focusing on both physical and digital environments.

Initial efforts centered on restructuring school-based interventions. In Schleswig-Holstein, authorities established decentralized intervention teams to provide rapid, on-site support for acute cases by integrating school psychology and youth welfare. Additionally, a specialized conference in Solingen addressed bullying from a societal perspective, emphasizing early detection, emotional resilience, and the link between respectful social interaction and democratic behavior.

Subsequent initiatives have expanded to target cyberbullying. In Niedersachsen, the LKA is launching ‘Der Onlineabend’, a digital information series designed to help parents and educators recognize digital harassment. Meanwhile, in Hamburg, the organization Cybermobbing-Hilfe e. V. has expanded its reach to combat digital violence, utilizing events and new locations to sensitize young people to the dangers of the digital realm.
