Areim supports Friends’ call for a national anti-bullying plan
19 September 2024Areim is a proud partner of Friends since 2021. Friends, a well-known and respected children’s rights organisation, works to prevent bullying and promote safe environments for children.
Friends current campaign, “Memories for life”, promotes a society where every child feels loved and respected. Where no one goes to bed feeling sad, wakes up feeling scared and goes to school with a sinking feeling in their stomach. The “Memories for Life” campaign illustrates how a certain moment can be difficult to remember, but for some children, it was the moment when everyday life became unsafe and threatening. Read more about the initiative and sign the petition to support the call for a national anti-bullying plan in Sweden at www.friends.se.
Areim supports this campaign, as we know that the school environment, both physical and psychological, is crucial to children’s well-being. As active school property owners, our focus is to educate ourselves and to constantly improve our understanding and practices to enhance these environments.
Together with Friends’ experts, we have developed a method to identify unsafe areas in our school buildings, involving one of our school tenants at Ångtvätten 22 and their students. This work was initiated by our Asset management team in close cooperation with our Sustainability team.
“This method aims to continually improve our understanding and implementation of ways to enhance the school environment, ensuring we are constantly learning and evolving in our methods to create better spaces, and positively influence the school environment,” says Alexander Hallström, Asset Manager, Areim.
Our commitment to ‘It is all about people’, reflects this support. We truly want to leave something better behind.
