2019-1-DE03-KA229-060178_2
3. Practically
Since 2019, basically we have implemented “Anti Bullying
Campaign” Erasmus+ project which is promoted in
community, national and on social media. We are working
focused with selected group of students on Etwinning
platform and during the international mobilities.
All students in the school are involved through diverse
activities. Bullying is an unwanted, aggressive behavior
among pupils involving real or perceived power imbalance
and has 5 types: Verbal, Physical, Cyberbullying, Sexual
and Social Bullying.
Bullies have disturbing behaviours in adaptation to school,
sometimes leading ESL.
We aim to:
* Open education and innovative practices for healthy
environment in school
* Decrease the rate of early school leaving and disadvantage
*Provide Inclusion – Equity, tolerance, empathy, friendship,
acceptance, multiculturalism and diversity
* Raise awareness about bullying-forms, causes, effects, impact
in community
*Change the situations fuelling the issues at schools,
*Contribute to EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP by teaching basic
humanistic skills
*Breakdown the prejudices and promote tolerance in and
beyond Europe
*Bring pupils in working with people from different cultural
skills
*Carry out the whole process with Etwinning to work in
discipline and reach wider communities

38. My
school
The 6th General High School of Larissa is an inclusive school
We try to work with our students on different topics and projects although the official curriculum keeps putting
us more and more obstacles
The group of teachers are very experienced and qualified, they already “saw everything”, so they can help a
newcomer student or teacher in a friendly environment
I think our students see their school as a family and they keep coming after they graduate or to play in the
afternoon
Violence is rare, but it happened sometimes.The last time I remember something very serious was a stabbing in
the yard.
From then on, I personally changed my teaching. I made a big reform. I included the arts and the humor in my
teaching. I try to be more open on social media with my students so they find me and talk to me whenever they
need it. I am in search of their hidden talents and I try to include them in my teaching.
I have no problem with that. On the contrary my opening and my sincere love for my science that the children
feel attract them near and I see people who are not talented in science to approach it, see it from their point of
view, and use it, to sing, to dance, to play theatre, to draw
