We all do it sometimes: tell an exciting, fun, interesting, or juicy story about someone else. Tempting, but passing on these stories can quickly turn from harmless gossip into harmful behavior: spreading rumors, excluding others, or bullying.
The slogan of Anti-Bullying Week 2024, ‘Think FF first’, encourages students to pause and consider the possible consequences. Am I hurting someone else if I pass this on? Make your students aware of their own role and responsibility in treating one another with respect.
For this year’s opening video, School & Veiligheid visited Eye College in Capelle aan den IJssel. It was an enjoyable day of filming, and the students revealed themselves to be true actors. Together with the ‘real’ actors, School & Veiligheid made a video that you can watch with your class at the start of Anti-Bullying Week. Watch the trailer below. The full video will be available online in September.
