The action of the Barça Foundation

Since 2017, the Barça Foundation has been developing programs to prevent and combat bullying. In 2022, the club took a further step with the creation of the Child Protection System, and in 2023 it launched the School without Violence Program, which remains active in the 2025/26 academic year.

• Child protection system: tool to detect and act on any indication of violence against minors.

• School without Violence Program: free initiative in schools, which is now in its third edition.

• Anti-bullying program: resource with scientific evidence to combat bullying.

• Methodology in sport: manuals and training to prevent bullying situations in sports clubs and schools.

Bullying: a problem that affects thousands of young people

Bullying is one of the most widespread forms of violence in childhood and adolescence. It is estimated that 1 in 10 teenagers suffers bullying at school, and that 25% of primary school students in Catalonia have been affected.

In addition, the phenomenon extends to the digital sphere: cyberbullying can have a devastating impact even with a single publication, due to its wide reach and permanence over time.

The role of adults and spectators

Experts point out that bullying is a group dynamic where there are aggressors, victims and observers. Precisely, spectators are key to breaking the code of silence: supporting the victim, defending them and asking for help from a reference adult can make a difference.

The Barça Foundation recalls that families, teachers and coaches must be trained to detect signs, raise awareness among young people and create safe environments. Only in this way can these situations be prevented, identified and stopped before they become chronic.

Commitment of Fútbol Club Barcelona

The involvement of players like Marc Casadó reinforces the mission of Fútbol Club Barcelona and the Barça Foundation to act against violence in all its forms. The entity not only wants to raise awareness, but also to offer practical resources to schools, families and sports entities.

With this campaign, Barça reaffirms its social leadership, using its media reach and institutional commitment to protect the youngest and promote a culture of respect and coexistence.
