Did the seminar outline any low-cost activities schools can actually run to help students feel confident reporting bullying?

It's great they focused on a bullying-free generation, but I wonder how they measured actual changes in student behaviors after the seminar?

I like the idea, however focusing only on students might miss how teachers or parents contribute to bullying dynamics at home or in class.

Schools should pair seminar sessions with regular peer-led workshops so students can practice speaking up and supporting each other against bullying.
