The Unit invites you to hear Christina Salmivalli speak about reducing bullying

The Social Research Unit invites you to a seminar with Christina Salmivalli, Professor of Applied Psychology at the University of Turku, Finland.

 
Christina Salmivalli has been responsible for the development and evaluation of the KiVa anti-bullying programme, now widely implemented in Finnish schools. The breakthrough in Christina's research was to understand the role of bystanders, children who neither bully nor are bullied but are present when bullying takes place.
 
The KiVa programme helps all children in a classroom or school to play a role in reducing bullying activity. The experimental evaluation indicates that the approach has substantial successes. KiVa is also marked apart by the success of its roll out across Finland without an appreciable reduction in impact on child outcomes. Christina will talk about her work and its potential relevance to reducing anti-social behaviour in the UK.
 

When: Tuesday, November 15, 2011
 

Where: Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, UK
