The 2009 workshop on Bullying is being planned for January 24th in The Strand Hotel Omeath Co Louth

Cooley Environmental & Health Group recent meeting

A meeting took place on Sunday 22nd June 2008 @ 11 AM in 5 Anglesea Terrace Greenore well attended by Environmental & Health members from the peninsula.

The main topic discussed was the 2009 workshop on Bullying. This proved a very diverse topic which will stimulate much interest as many in the course of their lifetime are subject to BULLYING of some stage or another.

The meeting revealed many types of bullying for example: School Bullying, Workplace Bullying, Cyperbullying, and Political Bullying Military Bullying. This includes school, religious community, and the workplace, home and neighbourhoods. The meeting heard “bullying can be a push factor in migration and that bullying can exist between social classes and groups and even between countries”.

The meeting also heard that “effects of bullying can be serious and even fatal and cause stress on its victim(s) 2. And that “only in recent years bullying has been seen as an offence and addressed by researchers, educators, parents and legislators”.

A list of potential speakers is being compiled by the facilitator of this coming workshop who is Dr Michael Desmond Hynes and Signor Seán Crudden who see bullying as part of our culture and it involves getting people top respect each others similarities and difference in an affable manner which s socially acceptable by the wider populous within a multi-cultural multi-faith society as we now are vastly becoming part of the EC political system. Under this new order there is urgent need for the populous to understand deal and tolerate others personalities once the said are with the law.

The group meet next Sunday 17th August 2008 @ 11 AM in Anglesea Terrace Greenore
