The BULLY Project Australia is launching the 100,000 Kids Campaign to spark a generation of Upstanders!

At the centre of the campaign is the Australian edition of The BULLY Project Educator’s DVD and ToolKit. Centred around the award-winning documentary film BULLY, it’s packed with Social and Emotional Learning tools and resources to help you prevent bullying and create a more caring, respectful community.

New Aussie content includes activities and lesson plans mapped to the Australia Curriculum for Years 7-10, as well as mapping to the National Safe Schools Framework and AITSL standards. We’ve partnered with heaps of Aussie organisations to present a blockbuster suite of initiatives for the whole community to get involved with and create a generation of Upstanders!

You can order the full kit or a digital-lite version through Chuffed.org

Lee returned to Australia for the launch events for GoodPitch² Australia where BULLY was screened accompanied by Q&A sessions with Lee. Following this, the interest and need for The BULLY Project in Australia was clear. Shark Island Institute and The Caledonia Foundation with the support of Documentary Australia Foundation gave life to The BULLY Project Australia. Since we have been speaking to Australian teachers, educators, education and mental health experts to explore how The BULLY Project can be most useful in Australia. We have decided to focus on developing an Australia edition of The BULLY Project Educator’s DVD and Toolkit. We’re bringing on a growing list of partners including UnLtd, Bennelong Foundation, The Pierce Armstrong Foundation, the Victorian Department of Education & Training and BullyStoppers, with more to be announced soon!

In late 2014, The Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood and ACMI released the BULLY iBook weaving clips from BULLY into BullyStoppers classroom lessons.
