The Workshops
The workshop element is incorporated into the Roadshow itself and will include an element of audience interaction.
The roadshows offer no solutions. We showcase a range of strategies for dealing with bullying and positive ways of leading to empowerment. We invite the audience to join us in exploring ways to build confidence and raise awareness to help them deal with situations creatively. The message that we are all responsible for the struggle against bullying is central. Time is spent looking at what the word bullying actually means to us. We look at the strategies available for us to use and even try out a few. Some basic skills are provided to help us deal with bullying and cyberbullying. Time is spent challenging bullying and the negative unproductive behaviours associated with it.
The Resource dvd
This Anti-Bullying Resource DVD is given to all schools who book the roadshow and is packed full of tips, role-plays, resources and follow-up lesson ideas. In addition to showing some of the horrors of bullying, we are also given examples of how to deal with difficult situations, bullying statistics, interviews, follow-up work and a host of resources.
The Lesson Plan
Every school that books the Roadshow will be given a one-hour anti-bullying lesson plan to help teachers follow-up our visit. The lesson plan will be creative in nature and engaging and fun for both teachers and students. Activities are clearly outlined and will include suggested timings.
