Actionwork leading the way in creatively dealing with bullying
Actionwork is the leading theatre and film company dealing with bullying in the world, the universe and in Weston-super-Mare!.
We produced the world's first anti-bullying festival and Britain's first national anti-bullying conference for young people. Each year we tour the national anti-bullying roadshow all over the UK and abroad. We produce anti-bullying films, anti-bullying shows, anti-bullying workshops, anti-bullying training and provide a whole host of anti-bullying resources.
Actionwork is the official anti-bullying resource centre for the Glastonbury Festival.
Actionwork has produced anti-bullying films for the Government and for the Anti-Bullying Alliance. In addition Actionwork has carried out research on anti-bullying accreditation for schools and Local Authorities and academic research on anti-bullying peer support.
Bullying can be a difficult subject to explore or tackle. There are many different groups offering all kinds of resources to deal with bullying, and it can sometimes be a confusing minefield to navigate. What is the best way to stop bullying? How can we involve young people in creating and anti-bullying ethos? Where can I find creative resources to assist and back-up my teaching? How can I stop my child from being bullied? What does Every Child Matters mean to me? What does the word bullying actually mean? These are all questions that are raised time and time again.
At Actionwork, with over 18 years of dealing with strategies to tackle bullying, we can offer you a variety of creative programmes to help you.
