to stop the bullying

Bullying happens in both schools and corporate environments, but teachers and trainers can make a difference!

"One of the most important anti-bullying measures that teachers can implement, they say, is frequently structuring classroom activities that make students interdependent and teach them to 'view individual differences as unique sources of strength. It’s vital that every student... be involved in endeavors that draw them together'.” *

* The Marshall Memo quoted Susan Engel and Marlene Sandstrom's article in The New York Times, "There's Only One Way to Stop a Bully," July 23, 2010.

"We communicate, think, and learn through stories," says Terrence Gargiulo.

Stories come in all different forms including personal experiences, anecdotes, metaphors, analogies, or jokes. The guiding rule for using stories in trainings or workshops is to be sensitive to the group. By staying tuned in to the group’s ever changing needs, you will be able to find the right stories to tell at the right time, elicit group member’s stories and increase learning.
