What Would You Do? – Take Two! – An new updated version for 2026
This anti bullying workshop invites pupils into the world of Ant, a World Friendship Ambassador on a mission to stop bullying for good. Through filmed testimonies from real children, pupils uncover one story from three different points of view: the target, the outsider and the reinforcer. Along the way they learn what bullying actually is, why it happens, and how they can become defenders for one another.
Three children, all part of the same story, share what they have seen, felt and done. One describes what it feels like to be targeted again and again, and to laugh along so no one sees how much it hurts. Another watches it happen, torn between wanting to help and being told to stay out of it. A third finds themselves swept along by a friend they admire, going along with unkindness they know isn’t right. Pupils sit with all three perspectives before Ant asks them, directly, what they would do. It’s a story about silence, and about what changes when someone finally breaks it.
“Phenomenal, the programme reaches all children regardless of their needs, and the Educators get 100% engagement. They have such a good way with the children and bring out the very best in all of them.” Beth Andreas, teacher
