UNESCO Member States declared the first Thursday of November as the International Day against Violence and Bullying at School, Including Cyberbullying, recognising that school-related violence in all its forms is an infringement of children’s and adolescents’ rights to education and their health and well-being. It calls upon Member States, UN partners, other relevant international and regional organisations, as well as civil society, including non-governmental organisations, individuals and other stakeholders to promote, celebrate and support the observance of this international day.
This day calls on learners, parents, members of education communities, education authorities and a range of sectors and partners, including the tech industry, to participate in preventing all forms of violence, because every day, children and adolescents face violence and bullying, including online, impacting on their health, well-being and education.
The APEEE firmly condemns all forms of violence and bullying and is actively committed to preventing them, whether on buses, in the canteen, or during extracurricular activities. We have a Trusted Person, Linda Martens, and provide training to our monitors to strengthen prevention against violence and bullying.
We stand for kindness and respect in the fight against violence and bullying at school
