Cyclone Repertory’s Bullying Prevention

Cyclone Repertory’s Bullying Prevention

The Bullying Prevention Session

A workshop play, presentation, and discussion on the topic of bullying behaviour for secondary school students

Written and Presented by Peadar Donohoe, BA, MEd and Trinity School of Education Researcher

With an informative presentation, an engaging, powerful play and discussions with students, the Bullying Prevention Session aims to raise learner awareness about bullying by looking at
· What bullying is
· The forms it can take such as cyber bullying, social exclusion, verbal, physical, etc.
· Those who contribute actively and passively such as the bully, victim, bystanders, possible defenders, etc.

Ultimately, The Bullying Prevention Session has three goals to:
· Share current research knowledge about bullying and its effects on young people,
· Challenge attitudes about bullying and
· Give students prevention ideas and ask what can do to curb bullying in their school

Peadar Donohoe is Artistic Director of Cyclone Rep, a drama coach at Cork school music and a bullying prevention researcher at Trinity College.
