(Anti)bullying Resources : A Dramaturgical Framework for Youth Workers and Teachers

The current brochure aims at positioning drama/drama process/dramatization as a resource for (anti)bullying for a public aged 13-16 years old. The dramaturgical framework follows Erwing Goffman’s approach as described in "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life" (1959). The examples are extracted from activities developed within the project HeartGuard – Empowering Youth Against Bullying, an Erasmus+ project carried out by L'école des Valeurs between 1 of February 2024 and 31st of July 2025. The project aims at combating bullying among young people aged 13 to 16 by using artistic methods, such as theatre/drama. The interventions with youngsters, teachers and youthworkers took place both in school and outside the school environment in Luxembourg and France.
