Our courses are run all year through schools (usually outside of class time) for young people who volunteer to be part of creating change.
We empower our young people to take the lead within their schools and communities to challenge and change attitudes around bullying. We do this through practical, interactive and collaborative training sessions that continue throughout the year to support ongoing growth and development.
They are a great place for discussions, having a laugh, talking things over, and feeling comfortable in your own skin. There are many different opportunities to develop a range of skills and strategies as well as the confidence to stand up for yourself and others.
Fun and flexibility are important parts of how we do things. Good things happen when people are inspired and enjoying what they are doing (and when it relates back to real life).
