Bullying Is Not Someone Else’s Problem. It Is Everyone’s Responsibility!

Denira Balguzhinova, a second-year doctoral student, held a curatorial hour for first-year students of the Political Science educational programme on the topic “Bullying Prevention: Everyone’s Responsibility.”

The discussion focused on the causes and forms of bullying, its consequences, and prevention mechanisms. Students examined real-life cases from different countries, learned about international practices in combating bullying, and discussed legislative approaches and measures of accountability for such behaviour.

Particular attention was given to practical situations: how to recognise bullying, how to respond appropriately, and why the position of bystanders also matters.

The main conclusion of the meeting was that creating a safe and respectful environment is not solely the responsibility of educational institutions, but a shared responsibility of every one of us.
