At the initiative of our school’s Guidance and Counseling Department, and in response to the wishes expressed by parents and students, a two-month special program has begun at Mesrobian, aiming at training students to cope with bullying in the social environment in its various manifestations.
The program will be implemented with the participation of all students in grades 6 to 9, in collaboration with the ‘For The Art’ NGO. The program administrator is Mr. Jean Daccache, a psychologist, who will apply the method of working with students through theatrical art, providing an environment of interactive relationships to best pursue the set goal.
Through this program, and in accordance with the student-centered development approach implemented at Mesrobian, participants will become deeply aware of the characteristics of bullying, learn to confront this phenomenon in relation to themselves and others, and develop a sense of empathy for others, which is so important for a mentally healthy lifestyle, both in and out of school.
