Beat Bullying
We can all do something to banish bullying
Bullying in schools is a worldwide problem that damages the general school climate and infringes pupils’ right to learn in a safe, unthreatening environment. The solutions require effort, but are neither costly nor legally complex.
Whole-school human rights and citizenship education programmes bring everyone together to combat bullying, giving pupils as well as teachers, parents and school staff an important role to play.
Young actors and parliamentarians discuss solutions to bullying
The Beat Bullying actors, aged 10 to 16, discussed the causes and solutions to bullying with teachers, parliamentarians and representatives of parents associations at the film’s launch.
The launch took place at a side event during the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly session on Thursday 30 January 2014.
