Awareness and information campaign about bullying
« Bullying is out. It's time to stand up! » - That’s the theme of the campaign. A microsite and promotional spots for television and the Web have been developed to inform the population about bullying and the importance of preventing the problem. These methods encourage young people to denounce bullying and to become everyday heroes and heroines. Themes such as cyberbullying, physical and verbal violence are addressed. The campaign is led by the Ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport, in conjunction with the Ministère de la Sécurité publique, the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux and the Ministère de la Justice.
