You can find data about the prevalence of bullying in 43 countries here:

• Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) - a WHO cross-national survey. 2013/2014

The introduction of Free of Bullying involves three phases;

1. Establishment phase (typically one year):
   You prepare the project description, budget and organisational chart, plan the evaluation and find partners. You translate the first materials and select municipalities and preschools / primary schools for the pilot phase.
2. Pilot phase (typically one year):
   You conduct seminars for key persons, pilot institutions and test the materials in selected preschools / primary schools. The materials are evaluated and adapted accordingly.
3. Roll-out phase:
   Based on the pilot phase you plan for the work ahead, roll out the materials to more preschools / primary schools and manage the finances on an ongoing basis. You also evaluate and communicate on an ongoing basis.

During all phases you must be prepared for several meetings and ongoing communication with the Free of Bullying Coordination Team, including submitting status reports, sharing results from your research etc.
