“Ideas Change the World”: In conversation with Marie Quartier & Jean-Pierre Bellon

Join on 17 March at 7pm a live talk* on Zoom with Marie Quartier & Jean-Pierre Bellon, two professionals involved in the campaign against school bullying, founders of the RéSIS center (Centre de Ressources et d’Etudes Systémiques contre les Intimidations Scolaires), dedicated to the resolution of problems and pains at school.

They will be speaking about: «School bullying situations: How to identify and resolve them using the Shared Concern Method.”

Marie Quartier, a French associate professor of literature, trained in the systemic approach and with a degree in psychology, founded the association Orfeee, dedicated to studying and treating school suffering in 2014. She is a member of the committee of experts against school bullying for the French Ministry of Education and was awarded ‘Knight of the National Order of Merit’ in 2018.

Jean-Pierre Bellon, a French philosophy professor, is, along with Bertrand Gardette, one of the pioneers in the campaign against bullying in schools in France. In 2006, he created with Bertand Gardette the French website harcelement-entre-eleves.com and the following year founded APHEE. From the early 2010s, he introduced the Method of the Swedish Anatol Pikas in France, which allows to effectively deal with school bullying situations through interviews with the bullying students. In 2017, the method was further adapted to the French context through its association with the work of Marie Quartier to become the Méthode de la Préoccupation Partagée (MPPFR), which considers the support of student victims and their families. He is a member of the committee of experts against school bullying with the French Ministry of Education and was awarded ‘Knight of the National Order of Merit’ in 2021.

They are co-author of “Les blessures de l’école” (published by esf sciences humaines, 2020) and “Harcèlement scolaire: le vaincre c’est possible” (published by esf sciences humaines, 2021).
