Need for MUDI


During the school period when the social adaptation process is experienced, the individual questions who he/she is, what to value and whom to believe (Yavuzer, 1998). One of the problems that negatively affect the personality development and academic success of students during the school period is the concept known as ‘peer bullying’ in the literature. Peer bullying is a negativity that is commonly experienced by many students (Olweus, 1991; West, Salmon, 2000), which occurs continuously between two people who know each other (Farrington, 1997). For the concept of bullying, which is a special dimension of aggression behaviour, it has been determined that (1) it has a damaging or disturbing tendency (2) it shows continuity (3) the stronger person attacks and there is a power imbalance between the less powerful and the weaker (Nansel, Overpeck, Pilla et al., 2001). The concept of ‘bullying’ is defined as the continuous and deliberate dominance of a student or group over others in an educational context (Furniss, 2000). The dominant individual constantly causes stress on the weaker individual through harassment and torment (Besag, 1989; Olweus, 1991; Roland, 1989; Smith, 1991).


The main reasons for the need for MUDI are national and EU policies and the lack of multidisciplinary studies (education, parenting, sociology, psychology). For these reasons, there is a need for a comprehensive training programme that goes to the root of the problem.


Efficient and correct use of EU resources will be ensured through cooperation to turn business ideas into production, instead of each school and institution investing individually to face the problems included in the MUDI project. Furthermore, European co-operation was necessary to strengthen the capacities of the partners and to define common policies for the development of MUDI.


This cooperation will enable transnational organisations to keep pace with entrepreneurial technology and to produce common solutions to problems. Schools, NGOs, universities and SMEs should jointly invest to achieve this production and develop solutions to the common EU problem of peer bullying in schools. We have implemented the MUDI project to achieve this cooperation.

Our History

June 2022

Project description

Project idea emerged, the aim, objectives, outputs and implementation steps of the project were defined. In order to make this possible, it was necessary to carry out a preliminary research and consultation between the partners.

August 2022

Project formulation 

After all the details of the project were finalised, the project text and budget were prepared for evaluation by the funding agency. 

Septmber 2023

Approval and funding

Once the funding for the project has been approved by the Italian National Agency INDIRE, the funding agreement between the funding agency and the organisation that will carry out the project is concluded. At this stage, the project objectives and budget were reviewed.

December 2023

Project execution

After the agreement between the partners, the project execution works were started according to the predetermined objectives, outputs and implementation steps of the project within the resources and time period included in the financing agreement.

December 2024

Work Plan  Assignment of Tasks 

Logical framework, we have set out the products to be obtained in the project and the methods to be used in a very broad way; the tasks to be undertaken by each person and organisation that will take responsibility in the project are determined according to the implementation steps in the logical framework.

January 2025

Monitoring and Evaluation

During the project, the results and impact of the project were evaluated at regular intervals. With the evaluation, recommendations for similar projects to be carried out in the future also emerged, and it was decided to continue the project.

December 2025

Final and Dissemination

After the project is completed, project dissemination activities will continue within the scope of sustainable activities.

Get to know us

Our mission is to develop solutions to reduce the causes of peer bullying in schools. Therefore, the MUDI project prioritizes the education of teachers and parents by designing a training program for all of them. We aim to reduce peer bullying in schools and, where possible, find more permanent solutions.


In relation to the objectives of MUDI, the project partners identified the need to develop training modules and handbooks to advise teachers and support their professional development, as well as the development of a training programme for parents.

The main reasons for the need for MUDI are national and EU policies and the lack of multidisciplinary studies (sociology, psychology, education, parenting). MUDI will fill this gap and bring an innovative approach to our proposal.


The literature review did not reveal any studies or projects in the field of MUDI. In particular, all projects between 2014 and 2022 were analysed on the 'Erasmus+ project results' platform. The lack of a European platform offering scientific programmes in the field of students' psychological needs (in the context of parents and emotional accessibility) will be part of the innovative aspect of our project. Furthermore, the MUDI project designed digital tools and e-learning opportunities as the most effective innovative way to reach this social group. These digital tools and e-learning opportunities will constitute the innovative aspect of the MUDI project. Furthermore, WP3 and WP4 will be available in English and in the languages of the project partners.


This project has access to content that no Erasmus project has ever had before. MUDI will also include digital tools to support accessibility for parents with hearing and visual impairments. It is also noteworthy that there is no prevention or intervention work on emotional accessibility in peer bullying, as mentioned in the conclusion section of Annex 1. Through the training programme that the MUDI project will develop, we will have an important opportunity to reduce peer bullying in schools. This will be the innovative aspect of our project.


In this context;

  • Objectives 1: Activities to identify barriers to peer bullying
  • Objective 2: Activities to support teachers in their fight against peer bullying.
  • Objective 3: Preparation of a parent training program and involvement of this  process
  • Objective 4: Activities to find solutions to reduce the causes of peer bullying,


Peer bullying is a widespread problem

It is important to raise awareness, develop empathy and make them feel safe.
