Kick-off webinar for Anti-Bullying Week

Published Sep 15, 2025

From 22 to 26 September, Stichting School & Veiligheid is organising Anti-Bullying Week. The week will kick off with a webinar. During the webinar, we will look at the classroom through a different lens: not as a group of separate individuals, but as a close-knit team in which everyone matters. This year’s slogan – Look through a different lens and see: your class is a team – closely aligns with the underlying theme: school connectedness.

Increasing school connectedness is an important factor in promoting social safety at school and preventing bullying. During the webinar, we will show why connectedness is essential in the classroom and how, as a teacher, you can actively contribute to strong, positive group dynamics.

Teacher Yasin Yaylali will talk to several experts in the field of bullying.

What can you expect? First, of course, there will be an opening video.

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
