"...I wanted to let you know
about an important social media campaign
Eventful is running for the film, BULLY.
This year, over 13 million American kids will be
bullied, making it the most common form of
violence young people in the U.S. experience.
Bully is a beautifully cinematic,
character-driven documentary—at its heart are
those with the most at stake and whose stories
each represent a different facet of this
bullying crisis. Movie fans, parents, teachers
and students are encouraged to visit the site to
watch the trailer and Demand it! to bring the
film to their city. Now through March 30th
2012, fans can cast a Demand for their city.
The film will open in the top 10 cities with the
most Demands, and the top city will get to meet
Sundance and Emmy award winning director Lee
Hirsch!.." (US)
"..No Name-Calling Week
is an annual week of educational activities
aimed at ending name-calling of all kinds and
providing schools with the tools and inspiration
to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to
eliminate bullying in their communities..." (US)

Research undertaken in
both the US and UK highlighted a need to
make available to those about to leave
school and move into work resources to
enable them to deal with the issue,
should it arise, of conflict/bullying
behaviour in the workplace.
As a result we have developed with
The Foundation for European Initiatives
a interactive CD-Rom for school leavers
who are entering the workplace. The
CD-Rom deals with the transition and
assists school leavers in identifying
bullying behaviour within a work
environment, as it can be different from
bullying at school, and how to deal with
it.
