About Saajhi Samajh 13.0
Bullying is a widespread issue that knows no borders—affecting individuals across schools, workplaces, and online throughout the globe. It involves forms of aggression that can have the potential of long-lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects on both the victim and the aggressors.
To deepen our understanding of this pressing issue, the thirteenth edition Saajhi Samajh (Shared Understanding) is initiating a discussion on “Tackling Bullying Together: Examine, Educate, Empower.” The discussion will bring an esteemed panel of dedicated experts to share insights and strategies for creating safer, supportive and inclusive environments.
The thirteenth edition of Saajhi Samajh will be held virtually on 6 September 2024 and will be hosted by Tech Mahindra Foundation in collaboration with Dublin City University’s Anti-Bullying Centre. The event will take an in-depth look at new insights aimed at eradicating bullying and improving emotional safety and resilience within academic spaces. This event will also release a specially crafted guidebook for educators, parents, and students to help address bullying and support those affected.
Saajhi Samajh (or Shared Understanding), is the Foundation’s attempt towards creating a broader platform to enable advocacy through discourse and discussion on issues related and relevant to the development sector in India.
