The Boy In The Photograph
An outstanding Anti-Bullying presentation with a positive focus on empowering pupils with the practical skills and strategies to understand and prevent bullying behaviour and promote wellbeing within School.
My unique approach has credibility with young people because I speak from the perspective of having experienced bullying as a young person myself.
The presentation begins with my live theatre performance: 'The Boy In The Photograph' and is followed by an interactive workshop which addresses the following themes:
-
Developing empathy for others - how bullying feels and the effects it can have on a person.
-
Understanding the difference between banter and inappropriate comments. Practical skills & strategies for responding to bullying.
-
How to change your behaviour if you have been or are a 'bully.'
-
How to empower yourself, build confidence, self-esteem and resilience if you are or have been bullied.
-
Cyber Bullying and managing online behaviour.
-
The Power of being a 'Defender' bystander- practical things all children can do to challenge situations that don't feel right.
Duration:
Each presentation lasts one hour and is typically presented to 1-2 year groups per session or a maximum of 200 pupils per talk.
Target Audience:
Two versions of The Boy In The Photograph are available and my Presentation is age appropriate for Year 5-6 Prep School and Year 7 to Year 13 Senior School.
