Every year, 1 in 10 children is affected by school bullying. Not to mention the "gray zone," which includes thousands of young witnesses to this repeated violence, who are either complicit or indifferent. Bullying poisons the school environment and can sometimes lead to tragedy. It leaves lasting scars.
In this documentary, six middle school students in the 5th grade at Olivier de Serres (Viry-Chatillon in the 91 district) explore methods implemented in other schools to combat this issue.
Virtual reality to raise awareness, forum theater to give a voice, counteraction to empower victims with their own resources, emotion management to foster empathy, meditation to create more space for well-being, and mediation to turn passive witnesses into active ones who intervene instead of turning a blind eye.
