Students Join Forces Across Europe to Mark UNESCO International Day against Violence and Bullying at School, Including Cyberbullying

On the occasion of the UNESCO International Day against Violence and Bullying at School, Including Cyberbullying, celebrated every first Thursday of November, the students of class E2, as part of the eTwinning project "SEL WIZ: Hocus Pocus, Heart and Mind Focus", collaborated with their European peers in a meaningful, artistic, and educational initiative to stand up against school bullying.

Recognizing that all forms of school violence—including cyberbullying—violate children's rights to education, health, and well-being, our students explored key anti-bullying messages through videos, educational resources, and interactive activities.

Inspired by the themes of unity, kindness, acceptance, and inclusion, each partner school contributed original song lyrics, writing one line for each letter of the four words. This collaborative effort resulted in the creation of our shared anthem, “The Song of Unity” — a creative expression of hope and solidarity, aiming to raise awareness and inspire action against bullying.

This cross-border celebration highlighted the power of creativity and cooperation in promoting a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for all.
