Cool2Bekind online and on-premises training empowers educators with resources to curb bullying in schools.
Book your TrainingCool2BeKind dispels the myth that bullying is part of everyday childhood development, by providing training and resources to educators and learners in schools.
Through a series of specially designed training workshops, educators are given tools on how to combat bullying in schools, how to share and sustain this information with learners in their classes and are shown alternatives to aggression and violence – often the only examples set by the communities they live in.
Learners are taught to take pride in empathy and gentleness, how to ensure safe spaces by role-modelling a bully free environment and to demonstrate leadership by being an "Upstander".
The training topics, which are conducted ‘online’ or with the educators include the following:-
- Bullying behaviour
- Cyberbullying
- Upstander instead of Bystander
- Manage anxiety in Children
- Racism, Prejudice and Discrimination
- Gender-based Violence
Understanding that kindness is strength, rather than a weakness engenders respect for oneself and others. Not only does this discourage bullying behaviour, but it empowers children in situations of victimisation.
Teaching a child that it is Cool2BeKind creates tidal waves of transformation.
Through the Cool2BeKind involvement in the schools, discoveries show that much of the bullying stems from low self-esteem and learning difficulties which is a direct result of not been able to READ.
STORYWEAVERS combines the love for literacy with the Cool2BeKind anti-bullying kindness project. Research shows that many children bully due to low self-esteem which resonates with not been able to read.
Collaborations with like-minded individuals and organisations not only add additional resources but ensure that together we weave a kinder, brighter future for children in South Africa.
