The article School Bullying and Victimisation: Approaches to Prevention and Intervention, co-authored with M. Kokkidou, was published in the Journal of Culture in Tourism, Art and Education at the University of Patras. The study approaches school bullying and victimisation as complex social and educational phenomena involving repeated aggression, power relations and significant emotional and social consequences.

Particular attention is given to multi-victimisation and to individual and social factors associated with the escalation of harassment. Proposals for prevention and intervention are grounded in critical education and social justice, with emphasis on school communities that cultivate self-awareness, respect and active participation among educators, students and families. The analysis also argues that practices based exclusively on punishment, suspension or exclusion may fail to address the social conditions that sustain the problem. Instead, it emphasises the creation of a school climate that supports recognition of difference, responsibility and meaningful intervention by the wider school community.
