That’s the danger with one day events, even when they are hosted annually. They run the risk of becoming just what they are, one day events! Yesterday was a wonderful day; a sea of pink in schools and workplaces, everyone united in our efforts to stop bullying. Children wrote commitments, teachers made pledge sheets, schools had assemblies, politicians made proclamations, and lots of people re-told stories of their past experiences with bullying, with high hopes for the future, hopeful for a future free of bullying experiences for their children.   

SO what are we willing to do to work towards a more peaceful future? What are the adults willing to model? We have had a call to action. We have been put on notice – put on notice to practise what we preach, perhaps not so much to stop bullying, which may not be as visible amongst adults, but rather to be inclusive and welcoming, kind and friendly (when appropriate), and to greet others and be helpful. 
 

Here’s the challenge: Try doing all of the following as a model to others, including your children
 

Our Call To Action is to be the change we want to see, and to be the future we want for our children. Take the challenge and see what happens!
