02:29 We are trying always to get the kids to work together in different type of groups across genders.
02:36 Not always with their best friends, but also working with other kids that they're not usually working with.
02:42 And they're also practicing their social skills for like how to communicate and also how to compromise different ideas.

04:49 We have all age groups calling about bullying, but it seems to be a particular problem for let's say 10 to 15 years.
04:56 And that's also when it's extremely important for a child to belong to a group.
05:02 And the act of bullying is expulsion from the group.
05:06 The digital dimension has made it worse because the bullying doesn't stop when you leave the school.
05:12 [French]
05:32 It's harder to be a teenager.
05:36 We had the lockdown, we have the COVID, you're more alone.
05:40 In general, we have challenged well-being.
05:43 Young people or kids who is involved in bullying, they need something.
05:50 They need, "I understand the meaning of being here and I am a part of it."
05:56 We have just a new kind of teenagers and we have to follow them.
06:01 And if we don't understand them, they are meeting meaninglessness and meaninglessness is a part of why they start bullying each other.

06:39 We try to get close to the students in many ways and to discuss the teaching, the pedagogical principles,
06:47 what they do in their spare time and of course how they interact on the social medias.
06:53 We have lessons about that as well.
06:55 It's very important that we dare to go close to them and dare to facilitate their life.
07:00 Not only the life in the classroom but also the life in their spare time.
07:05 We work on the trust because the trust is to get close related to them but it's also to act upon the problems.

07:29 I'm an authority in my field, in math, in history, but I'm not an authority on what you should do or think or...
07:37 Does it make sense?
07:39 So that's responsibility.
07:43 I think a lot of bullying comes from hierarchies that don't work and then people try to take power by bullying someone else.
07:53 And if you don't need to take power because you have power of your own life from the beginning, then that's another situation.
08:04 We learn from a young age, treat others like you want to be treated and that's very inbuilt in the way that we're teached.
08:13 It's also something you think of before you say something to someone.
08:18 The students actually have a quite big voice in the decisions that the school has.
08:24 That way we can also, if we hear any of our co-students, if they have any problems, we can take it right to the board and our opinions will definitely be heard.
08:38 In Denmark, I believe that both teachers but also parents at home are seen more as confident and guidance givers, more than authorities you have to respect and answer to.
08:49 So if you do experience cyberbullying in Denmark, I think everyone would have someone older to reach out to and help fix this problem.
08:56 They miss the math class but they learn something else very important.
09:06 That's also part of being grown up to make your own decisions about what's important.
09:12 To be a person in your own right is part of feeling well about yourself and that prevents bullying.
09:20 I think Denmark as a country is good at giving us like this feeling that we are a person and we are an individual and we are heard and seen and we are important.
09:35 It's also your own person but as a part of a community. We're separate but together.
09:41 Yeah, that's a good description.
09:43 Yeah.
09:44 That's fine.
