An exhibition will run for the duration of Anti-Bullying Week and will be heavily promoted to local homes and businesses through the local media. Young Leither's, Edinburgh The themes being explored by the girls who attend this group are relationships, with sessions on friendship, cyberbullying and healthy respect. The girls will be using their discussions to develop a mural on the wall of Leith Community Centre. Aberdeenshire Youth Council This group will develop a DVD and toolkit looking at bullying and cyberbullying in the Aberdeenshire area, which will signpost people to sources of support. The DVD will be promoted through school assemblies across the Aberdeenshire area during Anti-bullying Week Y-Create, Glenrothes The young people attending Y- Create, a youth arts project, will produce a digital animation looking at issues surrounding bullying which they have identified through their ongoing workshop sessions. The finished project will be produced on DVD which will be circulated locally and a public screening will be held. West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre, Up to 40 children under the age of ten will be involved in developing a mural on the wall of the Neighbourhood Centre's function wall, to raise awareness around bullying and related issues. The mural will also feature advice and places people can go to for help and support. Trinity and Victoria After School Clubs, Edinburgh The children who attend this after school club will produce a song and drama production to illustrate how bullying makes them feel. The song will be recorded to CD and performed at assemblies in local primary schools during Anti-Bullying Week. Depot Arts Co. Glasgow The young people attending this group will work through a series of workshops with professional stand up comedians to give them the confidence to perform to a live audience. Workshop facilitators will help them explore looking at bullying, through acceptable and unacceptable language and dealing with hecklers, before the young people deliver a final performance to their local community. The activities undertaken by each group will be showcased and promoted during Anti-Bullying Week. Campaign This year's campaign theme is based around the notion that ‘the internet is a place, not a thing'. Its core message will inform and educate adults about the internet being a social place that children and young people go to, and will reinforce the responsibility adults have to take an active interest and make sure that online environments are as safe as the places they visit in the ‘real' world. The campaign will be launched on Monday 14 November to mark the start of Anti-bullying Week, when further information and resources will be available. |
