anti-bullying

 


The photo shows the president of North Macedonia walking a child to school because they have been bullied.

President Stevo Pendraovski held hands with 11 year old Embla Ademi. Embla has Downs Syndrome.

President Pendraovski said, "The behaviour of those who endanger children's rights is unacceptable... they should not only enjoy the rights they deserve, but also feel equal and welcome in the school desks and schoolyard. It is our obligation, as a state, but also as individuals, and the key element in this common mission is empathy."

"It will help children like Embla, but it will also help us learn from them how to sincerely rejoice, share and be in solidarity. We are all equal in this society. I came here to to give my support and to raise awareness that inclusion is a basic principle."

- what is bullying?
- why do some people bully others? 
- what does it feel like to be bullied?
- Why do you think President Stevo Pendraovski walked Embla to school?
- Do you think he will he walk her to school every day? Why do it only once, will it make a difference?
- How do you think Embla felt as the President of her country held her hand on the way to school?
- "The behaviour of those who endanger children's rights is unacceptable" what does he mean by rights?
- "the key element in this common mission is empathy." - what is empathy?
- President Pendraovski talks about the obligation of individuals and of the state; what is the difference?
- "We are all equal in this society. I came here to to give my support and to raise awareness that inclusion is a basic principle." what does inclusion mean? Is President Pendraovski correct to say we are all equal in society, what can we do do improve equality?
- Although President Pendraovski has been praised for his actions, there is no quote in the article from Embla. Why would a quote from Embla improve this story?
- what can we learn from President Pendraovski?
- what can you do it you are bullied?
- what can you do if you see something that you think is bullying?
- why is this about No Outsiders?
