Kudos to LGBT youth organisation, BeLonG To, who continue to empower young people to take a stand against bullying in Irish schools and youth centres with their annual Stand Up! LGBT Awareness Week.
It’s a way to get young people thinking about how anti-LGBT bullying breeds fear and isolation, and how standing up in solidarity against bullying, helps everyone. Each school and centre gets an educational pack, which includes a poster and activities, and a raft of fun events are organised to publicise Stand Up! Week and encourage young people to participate.
