Including youth voices on panels and at events discussing their role in society and the fight against bullying and hate in schools is crucial. When young people are given a platform, it empowers them to share their unique perspectives and experiences, fostering a more inclusive and comprehensive dialogue. Their active participation ensures that the strategies and solutions proposed are relevant and effective for their age group. It also demonstrates to their peers that their opinions and experiences are valued, encouraging more young people to speak out and participate in societal issues. This engagement is key in building a sense of community and collective responsibility among students, which is essential in combating bullying and promoting a culture of respect and understanding. By involving youth in these discussions, we not only address the immediate concerns around bullying and hate but also cultivate a generation of empathetic, engaged citizens who are equipped to contribute positively to society. This approach underscores the belief that effective change, especially in educational settings, requires the voices of those most affected – the students themselves.
