Queen Mathilde of the Belgians discussed bullying at a school in Brussels.
The Queen travelled to the l’école des étangs/groupe scolaire n°5 à Ixelles (or Pond School) on 10 October to speak to students and teachers about bullying.
Her Majesty spoke to the teachers and pupils for around twenty minutes about how they can work together to create a safe and respectful environment in school.

The children told Queen Mathilde about their experiences with bullying, and she spent time with them bowling. The bowling pins had things like “racism,” “humiliation,” and “insults” written on them, and the children rolled a small soccer ball to knock them down as a symbol of defeating bullying.
She visited the school as part of RTBF’s (French language public broadcaster) “HOPE” campaign against bullying in schools, which takes place from November 3 to 15. HOPE stands for “Bullying, We Oppose It and We Talk About It Together” to raise awareness of bullying in primary school.
