France mobilizes against school bullying through regional initiatives

Various initiatives were launched across France on November 5, 2026, to combat school bullying. In Rue, Somme, students at the G. Deray nursery school participated in a symbolic circle in the schoolyard to raise awareness about bullying from an early age. Teachers emphasized the importance of teaching children accessible definitions of bullying and encouraging them to speak to adults if problems arise.

In La Réunion, the association To Be or Not Subir (TBONS) officially launched the regional campaign “Face au harcèlement, La Réunion se mobilise.” The mobilization included conferences and exchange sessions at Lycée Georges Brassens in Sainte-Clotilde and Lycée Levavasseur in Saint-Denis. The event involved approximately 110 participants, primarily high school students, and received support from the Ministry for Equality and the Fight against Discrimination. The campaign utilized the national pHARe program to sensitize students and collect their perspectives on the issue.
