After a short break at 10.00 a.m. the main activity of the day took place, the anti-bullying project. Teachers and pupils participated in this project that could be described as following:

The Anti- Bullying project can be summed up in three words: youth, empowerment, resilience. Whilst the underlying aim of the project is to enable young people to eliminate bullying, or at least reduce its impact, assessment findings paint a more nuanced picture. This project has been proven to have broader positive effects on the social and emotional wellbeing of young people, and on the climate in classrooms.

The trip to Meteora offered to all members of "THATS" group the unique experience of nature’s grandeur in conjunction with history, architecture, and man’s everlasting desire to connect with the Divine. 

 

In this framework two members of the Hellenic Theatre/ and Drama Education Network came in our school to collaborate with teachers and pupils.  The aim of this visit was to provide to all participants assistance so that they can show sensitivity and empathy regarding to what bullying is and how the pupils can prevent and stop these incidents of happening in schools. 

With their live theatrical and role- acting exercises and scenarios were able to contribute to the development of approaches and techniques, helping all members of the group to view theatre as an art form, as learning tool and as a tool for social intervention.

Meanwhile all Erasmus pupils had voted in a digital contest 12 anti- bullying messages. On the “lingering ghosts” figures pupils wrote with white markers these 12 anti- bullying messages.   

·         Venom bullies them verbally by using his long threatening tongue.

·         Thanos maltreats them.  

·         Two-Face, the double-faced character, makes fun of them with his either good or bad face. 

·         Cat Woman hurts them by using her whip.

·         Harley Quin shows and stigmatizes them. 

 

On the other side 

·         Spiderman stretches his protective net. 

·         Flash saves the children by taking them away from difficult situations. 

·         Superman transfers them to a safe place.

·         Batman and Hulk help them when need be.  

The party ended for all groups with a farewell 

All pupils and teachers took two certificates as a reminder of their participation in the First International Meeting in Greece. The first of them was a certificate of participation in Peer Support Day of Anti- Bullying project and the second one was a certificate of attendance the mobility of the Erasmus “THAT’S” project in Almyros/ Greece. 

The aim of this art project is to approach the issue of bullying in an innovative way.

We created a bullying graffiti scene on this wall and we designed famous comics heroes (who represent good and bad characters) instead of people. 

On this frame we designed the students in the center of the scene, the good heroes on the left and the bad ones on the right. 

We recognized the bullying characteristics of the bad heroes and we focused on the ones that would help us achieve our aim.
