Anti-bullying video contest for MS and HS students
| To raise awareness about bullying and intolerance, the UFT’s BRAVE Program (Building Respect, Acceptance and Voice through Education) is holding its ninth annual video contest. BRAVE encourages students to share their experiences with bullying and intolerance either from the “inside” (firsthand) or “outside” (witnessed) point of view. The contest is open to all middle and high school students from New York City public schools. Students are invited to submit a three-to-five-minute video that engages with the contest’s theme. Winners’ schools will receive cash prizes and attend an awards ceremony at UFT headquarters in May. |
| Suggested topics |
| • What does it feel like to be the target of bullying, witness a bullying situation or engage in bullying behavior? • How do you and your classmates stand up for others in a positive way? • How can students and teachers create school communities that promote acceptance, tolerance and respect? • What do students want adults to know about bullying and intolerance? |
| Contest details |
| We’re accepting contest entries until Wednesday, May 3. First-, second- and third-place winners’ schools will receive cash prizes at an awards ceremony at UFT headquarters on May 9. To enter, fill out the online entry form, then follow the instructions on the form confirmation page to email us the video. We hope you take advantage of this great opportunity for your child to get creative, take a stand against bullying and win funding for their school. |
