The Tyler Clementi Foundation, has launched a new anti-bullying project called Day One.
#Day1 is a national anti-bullying campaign that is free, simple and effective. The campaign empowers teachers, managers, coaches and other leaders to prevent bullying before it begins by promoting a no-nonsense message on Day 1 of orientation. #Day1 consists of a Declaration and Pledge that can be downloaded from Day1Campaign.com.
Many anti-bullying programs are based on remediation (addressing bullying after it happens). #Day1 is about prevention.
Participation in #Day1 is an easy process. 1) Register at the site by signing up and then download the Declaration and Pledge, 2) Read the declaration to your employees, students, teammates, etc and then ask everyone to sign the pledge (and return the pledge to #Day1), 3) within seven days tell #Day1 how it worked and how you felt participating. Watch the video above.
