Throughout 2022, we worked closely with the Cumbria Education Trust and Cumbria County Council. The mission was to tackle bullying through direct engagement. We ran workshops in schools for children aged 5-11.
We used performance to make the lessons stick. Children learned the principles of S.T.O.P. to prevent bullying. They learned to spot the behaviour in themselves and others.
This was not a lecture. It was participation. The workshops built emotional resilience and self-confidence. We helped foster a more caring environment where students felt safe to speak up.
