Abstract
This paper describes several anti-bullying programmes implemented in Greece, aiming at preventing and tackling the phenomenon in school environments. The aims of the study were to present the situation in Greece (including the prevalence of bullying and description of programmes implemented) according to the approaches characterizing anti-bullying projects in general. Anti-bullying interventions in Greece include a variety of methods; however, they are not applied in a systematic basis. As conclusion, limitations and recommendations for future actions are mentioned in order to increase the effectiveness of interventions and establish a formal anti-bullying policy supported by not only school communities, but also the wider community in an expansive form of adaptation.
