In keeping with our innovative tradition and in consultation with our international partners we will also be introducing the international anti-bullying festival for young people. This is a two-day event, held on the first 2 days of anti-bullying week.

The theme for this years anti-bullying week is that of the ‘Bystander’, this will be reflected in the conference. As usual all young delegates’ places will be free. As in previous years we will have young people from all over the UK attending as delegates.

It will be a fantastic uplifting and positive event with young people contributing from all over Britain and abroad. This years programme will include youth presentations, songs, poetry, workshops, awards, programmes and a variety of creative practice in dealing with issues of bullying. In addition we will see a variety of anti-bullying experts, researchers and practitioners informing us about their work. Also special guests and VIP's will be on the guest list providing music, drama and positive role models for young people.

Performers include the fantastic singining sensation Lhamea, International dance troupe 'Elevate', Bully Beat Crew, A Government Cabinet Minister, Dream Rapper Freddie Drakes Thomas, the sweet mellow vibes of Sharika, and a secret VIP list.

Further programme details including surprise guests and special programme elements will be announced shortly.

Delegates places, and speakers slots are already starting to book up. If you would like to get involved, give a presentation, or you have a good idea for a workshop, would like to have an exhibition stand space for your organisation, or would like to book places for your students to attend then please contact us.
