Description
Theoretical Background and Objective of the Study:
Bullying is a pervasive issue that affects students globally, leading to emotional distress, academic struggles, and long-term psychological effects. SForce, an initiative under Dreamland Education, is dedicated to fostering safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environments.
The primary objective is to equip students and counselors with tools to identify, prevent, and address bullying effectively, ensuring a supportive school culture.
Methodology:
SForce employs a multi-faceted approach, including educational workshops on anti-bullying strategies, weekly counseling services via Junior Anger Management Centers, peer education camps focusing on self-esteem and conflict resolution, and a recognition program honoring students as Anti-Bullying Heroes. Collaborations with schools and government agencies has strengthen the initiative’s reach and impact.
Results Obtained or Expected:
Since its virtual launch in 2020, SForce has impacted over 100 schools, offering support to students, particularly in the post-COVID era. The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, specifically Target 4.a, promoting non-violent, inclusive, and effective learning environments. A school anti-bullying rally was held on 28th November, 2024with representatives from the Ministry of Health in attendance.
Conclusion and Implications for Practice:
A proactive, collaborative approach is essential in combating bullying. SForce is setting a precedent for safer educational spaces by promoting respect and inclusivity. This presentation will highlight SForce’s methodology, impact, and vision, emphasizing how collective efforts can create a bully-free educational environment. Participation in the World Anti-Bullying conference will expose students and counselors to global practices, enhancing long-term sustainability.
