As part of the anti-bullying #YellowDay
campaign supported by our partner BRP, students at La Cima IAP participated in a workshop to build a Tree of Kindness. This collaborative mural transformed what they learned about preventing bullying and cyberbullying into everyday commitments to empathy and mental health.
The Meaning Behind Our Tree:
Roots: The core values that ground and unite us as a community.
Branches: The daily actions we choose to take in our environment.
Leaves: Each student created six leaves with personal commitments, positive ideas, and action steps to ensure no classmate feels excluded, humiliated, or hurt. Everyone then shared their commitments aloud with the group.
Key Takeaways from the Session:
Kindness starts within: True kindness means making others feel respected, heard, and safe—starting with how we speak to and treat ourselves.
Responsible digital citizenship: Students discussed how online teasing, exclusion, and aggression damage self-esteem, trust, and a sense of belonging.
A practical approach to mental health: Emotional well-being isn’t about pretending to be happy all the time or handling everything alone. It means recognizing our needs, building healthy coping tools, and remembering that we deserve the same respect and care we give to others.
Thank you, BRP, for partnering with us on initiatives that foster empathy, strengthen relationships, and remind us that every small action helps build a safe, bully-free environment.
