The Alberta government’s Prevention of Bullying Youth Committee is launching a grassroots movement during National Bullying Awareness Week (November 13-19) to change attitudes about bullying and promote a safe, caring and respectful society.

But, we need your help! Let us know your bullying prevention ideas. Send your videos, pictures, links and/or stories from your awareness week activities to us at b-free@gov.ab.ca. We’ll promote them on b-free.ca!

Here are a few suggestions:

- invite someone who’s usually ‘left out’ to sit with you at lunch;
- talk to others in your school or community (e.g. teachers, town councilors) about hosting a bullying prevention event;
- start/join an anti-bullying Facebook group with your friends;
- send a tweet or make a YouTube video about bullying prevention; and
- any other awesome ideas you think of!

Get inspired!  On November 17, 2011, over 150 students and staff from St. Albert Catholic Schools joined Alberta Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk and CTV's Josh Classen in a flash mob at Kingsway Mall in Edmonton to STAND UP to bullying.  Check out the YouTube video (multi-angle video version | single-camera version), Flickr pics and news stories! 



Together, let’s take a stand. We look forward to hearing from you!
