Jóvenes en Acción, a youth delegation from various cities in Mexico, hosted by WorldChicago produced this short video about different forms of violence they experience in High School.
In honour of International Anti-Bullying Day, two schools came together to create a message about acceptance and challenge others to use social media as a positive tool. The Anti-bullying flashmob was 4 months in the making. It goes to show what two schools can do when we come together for a common theme - Acceptance and the use of Social Media to send this positive message. This is also a challenge to others out there to spread the anti-bullying message to others.
A youth delegation from the Kyrgyz Republic created short videos reflecting violence affecting youth in their communities. This video deals with school bullying.
Our video shows different types of violence (bulling, girl violence) that youth in America experience, either directly or as observers. We offer non-violent solutions for addressing the violence with the hope that children can live and learn in a peaceful environment.
