Bullying is a pattern of behaviour rather than an isolated event. The most common form of bullying is verbal, which can lead to physical violence, if left unchecked (Pinheiro, Paulo Seìrgio, UN Study on Violence against Children, p. 121). Despite the efforts in national and European level, bullying appears to be an escalating challenge.

The central aim of the ComBuS is to increase the capacity and raise awareness in combating bullying among the abovementioned target groups, by providing them face-to-face, online and mobile methodologies, tools and activities.
