Empowerment in Action: Youth Standing Up Against Bullying
In Neuwied, a workshop named "Level Up! - Empowering Kids Against Bullying" is set to take place on Saturday, August 30th, at the Big House youth center, Museumstr. 4a. This workshop, aimed at children aged 8 to 12, aims to equip them with essential skills to handle bullying situations.
The course content will be tailored to the children's everyday life and support their personal development. Through practical exercises, girls and boys will learn to communicate their feelings clearly, boosting their self-confidence.
The workshop will focus on recognising bullying, building self-confidence, effective communication, seeking help, empathy and friendship skills, problem-solving and conflict resolution, and cyberbullying awareness.
Participants will understand what bullying is, identify bullying behaviours and situations, learn to express feelings without blaming, know when and how to tell a trusted adult, learn to recognise others’ feelings and build inclusive friendships, practice peaceful resolutions, and learn safe internet and social media use, among other things.
The event will run from 10 am to 4 pm, creating a protected space where everyone can openly discuss their experiences. For more information and registration, contact Tanja Buchmann at [email protected] or 02631/802-170.
The goal of the workshop is to create a safe and positive environment for children in the long run, fostering a respectful community where everyone feels empowered to stand up against bullying.
In the spirit of cultivating a respectful and empowering community, the "Level Up! - Empowering Kids Against Bullying" workshop also encourages an outdoor-living lifestyle by encouraging discussions about bullying in home-and-garden settings, urging participants to apply their newly-acquired skills and empathy in all aspects of their lifestyle. Additionally, the workshop's aftercare plans envision a comprehensive support network extending to home-and-garden environments, offering guidance on outdoor-living principles that promote personal growth and self-confidence.
