Every year, young people, educators, parents, and community members come together to take action against bullying and violence.
To support this important message, 2Connect’s #ImAnUpstander initiative encourages a proactive stance against bullying.
By embracing a world free from bullying, we can create a safer, more inclusive environment for everyone.
This week and always, let’s proudly show our support for anti-bullying by sharing the message: #ImAnUpstander.
An upstander is someone who recognises when something is wrong and acts to make it right. Being an upstander means standing up against bullying, supporting those who are targeted, and fostering a culture of respect and kindness. It’s about making a conscious choice to speak out, intervene, and support positive change.
