Summary

Wang-ta (school bullying) is a serious social issue in South Korean society, and schools and the government are searching for effective and proactive measures to actively intervene and prevent it. This chapter reviews the current intervention programs uniquely designed and developed for use in South Korean schools. These classroom programs in general focus on changing the climate of classroom and the environment within school. For example, ‘I Can Make a Difference’ is the most recently developed school violence (sexual violence) intervention program for elementary school students and is discussed in detail. The contents of intervention and prevention programs developed in consideration of the South Korean culture are reviewed in terms of the intervention/prevention topics, the target audience (victim, bully, outsider, and teacher), the multimedia resources, the incorporation of the current Korean school violence laws and how the programs are enforced for proper and effective use. New and improved programs are being developed and the follow up program for ‘I Can Make a Difference’ targeting middle school students is work in progress.
