A new campaign involving dozens of celebrities aims to send a powerful message against bullying – and especially school bullying, which is tending to become a scourge.

Entitled “Next to You – Always Together”, the campaign brings together the power of image and example, with the participation of 60 female champions and 60 personalities from the worlds of sport, art, media, and society. Together, they send a resounding message of unity, solidarity, and courage against all forms of violence and exclusion in the school environment.

Behind the campaign is the well-known free press magazine “Koita Magazine” by Mariam Nikou, in collaboration with the Greek-English Education. Together, they use the power of the image for a different purpose: to raise a voice against school violence, which has now gone beyond the limits of verbal aggression, often passing into physical violence and social exclusion.

A special place in the campaign is occupied by the girls of the “Gymnastics for All” team, European champions in their sport, who, with their presence and example, are dynamically reinforcing the message of the effort. The contribution of their coach, Christina Psaraki, who actively supported the implementation of the campaign, inspiring with her attitude and action, was decisive.

The photography for the needs of the campaign was carried out by the distinguished Nikos Margaritis, who captured with sensitivity and power the look and message of each participant.

The campaign is implemented with a focus on students and aims to enhance self-esteem, inclusion, and acceptance of diversity.

Mariam Nikou, inspirer and creator of the campaign, said: “Bullying in schools is not just a problem, it’s a plague. We want every child to know that they are not alone. Through these images, we tell a story that empowers, unites, and heals.” The campaign will be officially presented at a special event at the Greek-English Education, with speeches, participation of the protagonists, and an open discussion with students.

And its message is clear: “Together, we can stop bullying. Speak up. Don’t be afraid.”
