The workshop took place on 14 of July 2019 where 8 pupils 6th, 7th and 8th grades attended and it consisted of establishing healthy relationships about the bullying phenomenon, to develop skills of asking for help, preventing and managing bullying, building group / class confidence, creating a safe and inclusive environment at the group level, sensitivity and understanding the emotional impact of words.
Activities used were based on non-formal education methods such as: energizers, games, brainstorming, reflection sessions, small group work that enabled active listening, empathy, openness, communication and feedback. It was created the context in which students shared their experiences of bullying and reflected on the impact they had in their lives and on the solutions that they could take to eliminate these situations in the future.
We appreciate the participation of the students at our workshop and we hope that the workshop had given them a direction to manage bullying and inspired them to participate in the elimination of the phenomenon in the future in their school.
