To explore the difference between banter and bullying, we're excited to partner with the Anti-Bullying Alliance for Anti-Bullying Week. Together we've created a fun and thought-provoking session, available free for secondary school students, using exclusive clips from Taskmaster with presenters Greg Davies and Alex Horne.
The 60-minute session gives young people the opportunity to explore what healthy relationships look and feel like, while considering how context, intent and impact can change the way a joke is received. Scenes from the award-winning TV show can ignite lively debate among students encouraging discussion on humour, friendship, boundaries and the impact our words and actions can have on others.
Light-hearted, thought-provoking and designed to get young people talking, Taskmaster: Banter or Bullying? offers an accessible way to open conversations on respect, empathy and positive relationships.
James Blake-Lobb, Head of Taskmaster Education, said: "At Taskmaster Education, we're always looking for creative ways to spark discussion, teamwork and critical thinking in the classroom. The real relationship between Greg and Alex provides a useful starting point for conversations about humour, power, consent and respect. We're delighted to be partnering with the Anti-Bullying Alliance to help young people explore the tricky distinction between banter and bullying, and to encourage thoughtful conversations in classrooms across the country."
