 Since 2009, when the KiVa program became available for Finnish schools, thousands of teachers have been trained
to implement it, and the proportion of students bullying others repeatedly has been halved in schools implementing
the program
 The KiVa program is implemented in six countries via our licensed partners, and several initiatives in new regions are
under negotiation. About forty international trainers (to train school personnel outside of Finland) have already
been trained, and the next international training will be organized in January 2016.
 The first international licensing agreements were made in 2014, and now we have six contracts. In addition, three
new ones are hopefully signed in the fall of 2015.
OUTLOOK
They already have the evidence that the KiVa program can be adopted outside of Finland with minor surface
adaptations. The cost for implementation varies by country as it is determined by our licensed partners. The cost models
in different countries are different, and depend on whether the implementation of the program is supported by public
organizations, NGOs, or alike, or fully covered by the end-users (schools).
