Let's settle away! - How to prevent bullying through mediation in early childhood education and schools? 

Early childhood education and care and schools, together with homes, have an increasing welfare role to play and situations between children and young people are escalating rapidly, both online and face-to-face. Busy everyday lives challenge encounters. 

Dear carer, come and find out how bullying is prevented through mediation in early childhood education and schools, while strengthening the well-being of the whole community.

The VERSO programme has been training in peer mediation, Verso, MiniVerso for early childhood education and RESTO (adult-led mediation) for over 20 years.

We will organise a free information session for all interested carers remotely on the Teams platform on Tue 18.3.2025 from 17:30-19:00! The event will be held in Finnish. It will be possible to ask questions and make comments in the event's discussion area, also in Swedish and English.

You can get involved by filling in the registration form here! 
The form can also be accessed by QR code:

Those who register will be sent a recording of the event for their own reference. 

A link to participate and instructions on how to connect to Teams remotely will be sent to your email a few days before the event.

Read more About the VERSO programme and mediation.

VERSO will be represented by trainers Michaela Lindholm and Eeva Saarinen.
