ETOS Programme · Community and bullying

Når fællesskaber
skaber afstand

Bullying is not an individual problem — it is a tension problem in the community. ETOS helps schools, institutions and workplaces see tensions early and act precisely.

ETOS: Problemet er ikke én elev — men fællesskabets spændingsfelt.

What you know

It is not always clear who is doing something wrong. But someone is still left out.

Bullying and exclusion are rarely simple or black-and-white. It arises where relationships, roles and structures meet — and cannot be solved through rules and sanctions alone.

ETOS gives schools, institutions and workplaces a shared language for what is happening — and tools to act early and precisely.

Nogen holder nogen udenfor — men ingen "mobber direkte". Det er svært at handle på noget man ikke kan sætte ord på.

I reagerer for sent — fordi spændingerne ikke er synlige nok til at udløse handling, inden skaden er sket.

I taler om individer — men problemet sidder i fællesskabet. Indsatsen rammer forkert.

Det gentager sig — fordi kulturen ikke ændres, kun adfærden korrigeres midlertidigt.

Versioning

Same model — different complexity

The ETOS model is adapted to age and context. The underlying logic is the same — the language layer and exercises are adapted to age and context.

0–5
Nursery · Safety

Atmosphere and sensation

Very visual. Bankeren is used as a shared emotional language. Farver = stemning i gruppen. Pædagogen spørger: "Hvordan er du i dag?" — barnet peger.

6–16
School · Relationships

Roles and group dynamics

Social roles are made visible without locking in. Hvem er i centrum? Hvem er på kanten? Fokus på dynamik — ikke skyld.

Adult
Workplace · Culture

Power and invisible hierarchies

Focus on cultural tensions and invisible power structures. Hvem definerer normen? Hvem ekskluderes stille?

Eksempel

ETOS in practice — a school situation

One pupil is excluded · No one "directly bullies" · Year 6 High social divergence
Situationen
Pupil is not invited into groups
No direct incidents to address
The teacher knows something is wrong — but what?
ETOS registrerer
High social divergence i gruppen
Low relational trust towards the excluded pupil
The problem is the community's structure — not one pupil
Lærerens indsigt
Change the structure — not the pupil
Redesign the group composition
Create situations that increase trust

"ETOS shows that the problem is not one pupil — but the community. That changes what you address."
