2008 anti-bullying conference
Would you like to host the 2008 ipoweri National Anti-Bullying Conference for Young People in your region?
We are now starting dialogues with interested Local Authorities and organisations who would be interested in this innovative and exciting national conference and festival being produced by Actionwork in their region.
Actionwork produced Britain’s first National Anti-Bullying Conference for young people in 2003, which was held with great success in Islington, North London. It has been an annual event since then. To date it remains the only national forum for young people to express themselves about bullying and victimisation.
The ipoweri conferences are events organised by young people for young people, and have a young management group to help achieve this.
The aim is to produce the annual national conference in a different region of the country each year. This allows regional groups to showcase their best practices in dealing with bullying to the rest of the country and abroad.
We are currently looking for a forward thinking Local Authority or Organisation that would like the event to come to their region in 2008. This Local Authority must have anti-bullying high on their agenda, have a strong commitment to youth participation and youth advocacy and be willing to put in a substantial amount of funding towards the event. The Local Authority must also be willing to work alongside Actionwork to produce this event.
