Anti-Bullying Week 2009: Changing Lives One Beat at a Time
Nearly 600 hundred students spent lunch time attending Think Day. The motivational multimedia presentation featured live music from Winnipeg band Hundredfold, thought-provoking videos and personal stories about bullying.
Sharing a Message of Hope
Students filled every corner of the school gym. There was tangible silence in the air as students watched videos about bullying. Several speakers also shared their personal experiences and talked about the devastating effects bullying had on their lives. For some, bullying pushed them to substance abuse, for others, suicide seemed like the only escape. All of the speakers overcame these obstacles and shared a message of hope.
Organized by youth-focused charity, Absolute Leadership Development, the presentation encourages students to reflect on how seemingly small things can affect peoples’ lives.
Raising Awareness through Interactive Events
The sounds of Winnipeg band, Hundredfold, could be heard through Columbia’s halls. The four-man band strummed chords, sang and drummed with the cheers of students as an accompaniment. Strobe lights, large speakers and a huge crowd set the stage for what many students said felt like a real, live concert.
The interactive presentation had Columbia students ‘jamming out’ on air instruments to popular songs. They won CDs from the performing band.
Anti-Bullying Week is devoted to raising awareness by featuring a variety of interactive events including Think Day, poster-making and homeroom discussions about bullying.
