This engaging workshop encourages and shows students how important it is to treat others in a positive and respectful way, and highlights the negative impacts of bullying. It is delivered in a fun and interactive way utilising multimedia, group activities and kinaesthetic exercises. The workshop effectively demonstrates how to be a good friend, whilst addressing how hurtful spiteful actions can feel to others, then how this can turn into bullying, sometimes even unintentional.
