The competition “Say NO to bullying” is part of the educational programme of the International Olympic Truce Centre and the British Council, entitled “Respecting Diversity” which is against bullying and is based on the ideals and values of Olympism and Olympic Truce.
The competition is aimed at students of between the 5th grade of Primary school and the 3rd grade of Secondary schools (10 - 15 years old) in all schools in Greece.
Students will take part as teams and will create a video or a PowerPoint presentation and will be inspired by the following principles:
- Recognising Diversity: Bullying appears when we don't try to understand and accept that we are different. We all have the right to be treated with respect and politeness.
- Equality of Opportunity: We all have the right of participating.
- Social Inclusion: Accept me, the way I am. We all have the right to be recognised for what we are. We can all be friends.
- Conflict resolution: I can solve my problems by talking with others. We all have the right to solve our problems peacefully.
