With nearly one in four children reporting being bullied on a regular basis*, it is essential that we address the challenging topic of bullying. Our anti-bullying training, created in partnership with the Anti-Bullying Alliance, has been made with educators of PSHE, PSE, Health and Wellbeing, Learning for Life and Work (LLW) and Citizenship in mind.
This film-focused session will develop your confidence in tackling conversations around bullying, examining appropriate behaviours through the analysis of on-screen action and using higher order questioning techniques and practical activities. You will also explore how to positively express thoughts, voice and understanding through a short filmmaking task.
The session is a part of Into Film's Wellbeing training, which also includes Mindfulness Through Film and Staying Safe Online. In this suite of sessions, we explore how film can be a powerful tool for developing empathy, exploring impact through ‘what ifs' and discussing difficult issues faced by the character, all at a level removed from issues that a young person may be facing themselves.
