During May 2005 Sullivan EurAsia proposed the creation of a
Transatlantic Schools Anti Bullying Initiative with the support and
financial backing of its parent
Sullivan University System
in Kentucky USA.
One of the objectives of the Transatlantic Initiative was the production of an "Initiative Report" that
was be
presented to the UK and US Governments, with its findings and
recommendations, in 2007. The Initiative was not a Network, nor did it seek to create anti-bullying projects itself. The Initiative was time-limited (it was closed in October 2007 - following the production of the Report) and was intended to be a comprehensive technology based resource for young people, parents, teachers and practitioners and will gather together in one place anti-bullying projects from around the world. The Initiative had two components: (1) The Management Committee and a Best Practices Working Group, split into a UK Group and a US Group. The Management Committee had a membership comprising politicians and senior high-level advisors plus the Chairmen of the UK and US Best Practices Working Groups. This Committee oversaw the strategic direction of the work of the Initiative. The first joint transatlantic meeting of the Committee was held in London on 28 March 2006, with the next one in Washington on 26 October 2006. (2) The Best Practices Working Groups had a membership made up of: practitioners in the field; young people; voluntary organisations; local government; and National Government Departments. These Groups gathered together the best practice examples of anti-bullying activities in the UK and the US and reported their findings to the Management Committee.

production of the Initiative Report it was decided that this website was
a valuable resource that should continue. |
