Empowering Peer Educators: Standing Up to Bullying Through Awareness and Action

Peer Educator Workshop on Anti-Bullying

“One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” – John F. Kennedy

The Health & Wellness Programme, under the flagship of Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director (Health & Wellness), BBGS, established the Peer Educator Programme to foster a sense of community and belonging among students by promoting a positive attitude toward bullying prevention, mental health, and overall well-being.

The third session of the workshop, titled “Draw the Line: Stand Up to Bullying,” was conducted for the Peer Educators of BBGS on December 5, 2024, at BDBBPS, Sector 10, Gurugram.

The primary objective of the workshop was to educate Peer Educators about the effects of bullying and its impact on individuals. The Resource Center team focused on equipping the Peer Educators with various strategies to build their confidence and empower them to stand up to bullying effectively.

The session began with an engaging icebreaker activity, followed by a presentation on strategies to combat bullying and the roles of an upstander. Role-playing exercises were conducted to practice assertiveness, and students were also briefed on the Anti-Bullying Policy, which aims to prevent bullying incidents and ensure protection from any form of harassment.

Empowering students with knowledge and skills to address bullying can significantly reduce such incidents. The session included a discussion on the upcoming Symposium, emphasizing the importance of responsibility and ownership in making the Peer Educator Programme an effective initiative for promoting positive change.

The students expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Alka Saxena and her team and eagerly look forward to new learning opportunities and reaching greater heights.
