On the 5th and 6th of December 2015, a two day workshop was led in Heraklion, Crete by InSite Drama and organized by Action Synergy offering the participants the possibility to experience both practically and theoretically drama methodologies regarding the issue of bullying and practical ways of implementing those methodologies in their work spaces in order to make a difference. The seminar was led by Ádám Bethlenfalvy and Ádám Cziboly and was attended by 25 participants from all kind of educational institutions.

The seminar was held in the Social Space of the foundations of Andreas & Maria Kalokairinou (Monis Agarathou 9). Ádám & Ádám presented different ways of creating situations in which learners / young people can engage on their feet, be motivated to understand and enjoy entering fictional context to recognise how and why problems develop. They also offered methods which contribute in looking at problems as complex social issues, rather than individual cases, and that build empathy for the “other”.
The next step and the next aim is the implementation of the methodology learned to their work spaces in order real impact to be made against bullying.

Training in the two EU Bully apps developed for mobile technologies
Meanwhile, on the 8th Elementary School of Heraklion (Taxiarxou Markopoulou 7), Action Synergy hosted three recurring seminars led by Vasiliki Georganta offering training for teachers to use two antibullying apps developed for mobile technologies:
– The EUBULLY app, which enables people of all ages to learn virtually about bullying.
– The research app, which is another simple, quick activity that can enhance an anti-bullying activity. It also offers young people the opportunity to contribute to a European wide research project that highlights the scope and nature of cyberbullying today.
About 50 teachers participated those three seminars related to the EUBULLY apps.
