Kind Words, Safe Schools: Designing Peace Together Across Borders

Students brainstorm school words, introduce themselves and their school, and share the project goals. They also meet the partner class through a short video call.

Students discuss verbal, physical, emotional and online bullying, then study short scenarios to learn the difference between bystanders and upstanders. They compare experiences with the partner class and talk through a live peace ambassadors video call.

In mixed international groups, students co-design a comic strip or short role-play showing a bullying situation and a peaceful solution, then write a shared respect charter. They use simple materials and practise active listening and empathy.

Students present their comics, role-plays and charter live to the partner class during a final video call. They then write a short reflection or letter to a peer abroad about empathy and non-violence.
