Lesson 2: Anti-bullying


Background for teachers:


Bullying is the most prominent form of emotional and physical violence experienced by school-age pupils in the UK. Peace One Day thought it essential to provide a lesson plan that addresses this issue, and also reaf- firms the message introduced in Lesson 1: What is Peace Day that Peace Day 21 September is about eliminat- ing all forms of violence and can be celebrated by ev- eryone. The content of this lesson has therefore been devised in such a way that makes it an ideal activity to incorporate into your school’s wider Peace Day activi- ties. Whereas a general discussion about bullying opens


the lesson, its central purpose is to encourage pupils to make a class commitment, a peace pledge, to take an active role in their school’s anti-bullying strategy. This is a creative lesson plan, intended to be as student-led as possible, enabling pupils to take ownership of, and re- sponsibility for, eradicating violence in their immediate environment. If you are using this lesson on Peace Day, you could make renewing the pledge annually a key part of your school’s activities on 21 September each year.
