Anti-Bullying

The young people reflect on the learning that has taken place and make a pledge to do one thing to support anti-bullying.

This role-play activity offers young people the opportunity to explore bullying from different peoples perspectives and decide what happens. The facilitator’s role is to set the scene, make sure that no one is feeling uncomfortable and that any issues raised are resolved

This activity encourages young people to think about different types of bullying and consider the effects that it has on both the victim and the bully.

To explore different types of bullying and provoke discussion about why people do it.

This session enables young people to identify different types of bullying behaviour and explore possible outcomes through role-play.

The aim of this activity is to create poems or lyrics to promote anti-bullying. It is similar to fridge magnet kits you can buy where you are given an assortment of words to make up rhymes or poems from, so some young people will be familiar with the concept.

This activity uses drama techniques to explore how victims of bullying might feel and build empathy as participants experience being the oppressor and the oppressed in a supportive environment.

This activity works best with six or more young people and should be facilitated at a fairly fast pace.

To make this really work you need to support the young people to work quickly and to go with their first ideas.

To spark discussion amongst the young people by using statements that express different opinions around bullying.
