Orihuela schedules two sessions on adolescent violence and cyberbullying for 5 November
The morning session will feature a play and discussion for secondary school students; in the afternoon, a talk will explore the role of families and educators.
Orihuela Town Council will hold two events on adolescent violence and cyberbullying on Thursday 5 November, aimed at students and the adults around them. The programme, organised by the Department of Social Welfare, includes a morning session at the Teatro Circo and an afternoon session at the María Moliner Municipal Library.
The event for Year 10 and Year 11 students from schools in Orihuela, including Orihuela Costa, will start at 10.00. The programme includes a performance of *Querido ChatGPT*, written and directed by María Ortuño, followed by a discussion with psychologist Alfonso Navarro on how to recognise bullying, intervene and ask for help.
The second event will take place at 19.00 at the María Moliner Library. Navarro will give a talk entitled *The position of adults in the face of violence*, aimed at families, teachers and education professionals. The session will cover recognising warning signs, communicating with teenagers and supporting them at home and in education.
The events coincide with the International Day against Violence and Bullying at School, including Cyberbullying, which UNESCO marks each year on the first Thursday in November. In 2026, the date falls on 5 November.
The events are part of the municipal *La Buena Mochila* programme, which, according to the Town Council, will reach 1,200 Year 4 and Year 5 pupils at 20 schools in the town centre, outlying districts and coastal area during the 2026/2027 school year. The initiative includes 144 sessions for 48 groups between October and March 2027, with activities to prevent bullying and violence at school.
The project expands on a pilot scheme launched in April 2026 at five schools. The new edition includes more schools and is aimed at different year groups. Social Welfare organised another municipal event on adolescent violence in November 2025, while in January 2026 the Local Police launched a campaign focused on preventing digital violence among young people.
