Are you concerned about the alarming rise of school bullying? Do you worry about detecting bullying behaviour and identifying potential victims?

Then don't miss the upcoming seminars on "School Bullying" by the Education Creativity Centre (ECC) in collaboration with "Hope for Children" CRC Policy Centre (HFC) on 8 June (in English) and 15 June (in Greek). These seminars provide an opportunity to delve into the causes and impact of bullying, as well as prevention strategies and tools to address it, ensuring the safety and well-being of our children.

Designed for parents and educators alike, these seminars raise awareness about bullying, provide insights into detecting bullying behaviour, and help participants understand the signs of a child being a victim, a perpetrator, or a bystander. You will gain practical tools to address and overcome bullying situations and to support victims, ultimately ensuring a positive outcome for all involved parties.

"As parents and educators, it is crucial for us to be prepared to identify acts of bullying, understand their root causes, and effectively address them. By focusing on prevention and response strategies, empowering victims, and exploring the impact and effects of bullying on children, we can enhance the well-being of our children," she explains.

Alikhani emphasises the pivotal role parents and educators play in empowering children to become healthy, creative, and successful individuals in society. She highlights ECC's mission to meet the market demand for professional development in education and equip parents with practical tools to help their children navigate modern challenges.
