“BullyBusters: Unmasking Kindness” was a Youth Exchange project organized by the organization “Einzigartige Projekte e.V.” and hosted by Lithuanian association "Neribota ateitis" The main Youth Exchange took place from June 26th to July 5th, 2024, in Kaunas, Lithuania. The participating countries were Germany, Romania, Portugal, Spain, Lithuania, and Bulgaria. In recent times, an increasing number of individuals—ranging from children and teenagers to adults, parents, and educators—grappled with the pervasive issue of bullying. It permeated various aspects of life, manifesting at home, in schoolyards, within classrooms, across digital platforms, and even within communities, transcending geographical boundaries. This surge in bullying incidents could largely be attributed to the rapid proliferation of electronic communication channels. Bullying was defined as hurtful behaviour carried out by those with more power, such as being older, physically bigger or stronger, having more social status, or when a group of students singled out an individual unwantedly. According to survey data in Germany, 14% of high school children thought about suicide and approximately 7% actually attempted it each year, primarily as a consequence of bullying. Furthermore, a survey conducted by the World Health Organization revealed that about 70% of Lithuanian youngsters had experienced peer bullying at least once; almost a third of school children faced frequent bullying (2–3 times per month or more). Moreover, according to facts and statistics, cyberbullying was on the rise worldwide. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) indicated that an estimated 14.9% of high school students were electronically bullied in the 12 months prior to the survey. Even though the majority of bullying cases occurred during school years, they led to serious long-term consequences. Research found that children and adolescents who had been bullied experienced negative emotional and psychological effects (such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harming behavior), academic consequences (negative impact on both grades and standardized test scores), and physical harm that scarred both the victims and the bullies for life. For example, being injured from a physical attack could lead to sleep disorders (difficulty falling or staying asleep), stomachaches, headaches, heart palpitations, bedwetting, chronic pain, and somatization. In response to these challenges, we collaborated with new partners from Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Lithuania, and Portugal to promote positive behavior among young people. Our aim was to empower them to protect themselves from bullying while actively preventing it within their communities. One of the ways we sought to achieve this was through the arts. The arts offered a unique platform to initiate dialogue, foster social inclusion, promote tolerance, and deter bullying among peers. We firmly believed that the arts, as a universal language, could unite people and convey an anti-bullying message in a creative and impactful manner. Aim: To change the behaviour and attitudes of 41 young people, 6 group leaders, and 1 facilitator toward bullying through arts as an anti-bullying tool, and at the same time, to increase the social inclusion of 18 participants with fewer opportunities (facing social, geographical, economic obstacles and barriers linked to discrimination) during the youth exchange that took place from June 26 to July 5, 2024, in Kaunas, Lithuania. Objectives: 1. To raise awareness among 41 young people about bullying, cyberbullying, bullying situations, and anti-bullying strategies in six different countries by the end of the project. 2. To help 41 youth discover the arts as a means to fight against bullying and to increase social inclusion for 18 participants with fewer opportunities by the end of the project. 3. To encourage 41 young people to actively contribute to bullying prevention by the end of the project. Our objectives were specifically linked to Erasmus+ priorities under the Inclusion and Diversity Strategy, by contributing to the following aims: 1) Increased commitment to inclusion and diversity 2) Created a common understanding among young people with fewer opportunities 3) Reduced obstacles for young people with fewer opportunities to participate in the programme
