Bullying

Recently, I've been witness to and heard wind of a remarkable amount of bullying with some students I work with. Given that I also have an interest in 'building empathy' as one way for students to connect to Kenya, I thought it might be good to find some resources related.



This video shows a Japanese teacher working with the group; the moment of 'change' seems to come when one student empathizes on a deep level with the girl being bullied.

How can I create such a positive and constructive dialogue amongst teen and pre-teen youth? Is is possible for such a process to happen 'virtually' - involving youth from different parts of the world?
