In recent years, Ukraine has been characterized by a complex socio-economic situation, further complicated by a full-scale war and related challenges. Among the pressing issues facing modern society are increasing intolerance, relationship breakdowns, socio-psychological adaptation to new realities of life, the absence of a favorable communicative environment, and the deterioration of physical and psycho-emotional health of the population, especially among children and youth [1; 5]. The topic of violence among children and youth has always attracted the attention of society, the media, and scientific research. Educational reforms aimed at humanizing the education system, liberalizing family and school relationships, as well as promoting tolerance and multiculturalism, are intended to reduce social negativity and support the democratization of interpersonal relationships. However, even in developed countries, there are recorded outbreaks of child and adolescent aggression, which still lack a unified scientific explanation. Some researchers believe that aggression among students is a natural part of socialization; however, such manifestations of cruelty can range from harmless jokes to systematic bullying, which in some cases leads to serious crimes, including torture, incitement to suicide, or even murder [6; 8]. This article highlights the problem of bullying, its main forms, and mechanisms that contribute to the spread of violence in the educational environment, as well as strategies for countering it [9; 10]. It examines effective approaches to combating bullying through physical education, particularly by means of sports and recreational tourism and local history activities within the framework of the “Sports Against Bullying” program. The positive impact of such activities on the physical condition, psycho-emotional health, and social adaptation of students is analyzed.
