Bullying No Way Week

What is Bullying No Way Week?

Bullying No Way Week replaced the former event - the National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence. Instead of a single event, schools can not hold a 'Bullying No Way Week' all week long. Some schools may continue to implement a single day to concentrate on this event, whereas others may integrate bullying awareness throughoug their whole school week. It's aim is to raise awareness about bullying and promote strategies to prevent and address it. It encourages schools, communities, and individuals to act against bullying through education, awareness, and creating an environment of inclusion.
