Anti-Bullying Roadshow
Book the Anti-Bullying Roadshow.
The 2010 Anti-Bullying Roadshow is touring the UK from the 8th November - 10th December.
Every year Actionwork produces the national and International Anti-Bullying Roadshow. This tours to schools, youth clubs, colleges, universities and parent groups all over the UK and abroad. Each year we link the theme of the roadshow with the theme for Anti-Bullying Week. Previous roadshows have included: Cyber Scream, Clash, and Silent Scream. Our anti-bullying roadshow has been called the ultimate theatre-in-education experience.
The Anti-Bullying Roadshow is a three-part package made up of a show, a creative workshop, and some dedicated resources.
The Anti-Bullying Roadshow has a high impact production tackling bullying and victimisation and is suitable for main stream and special schools. Each year we have primary and secondary school versions. This shows provides an important focus, for schools' anti-bullying campaigns. The Roadshow allows schools to make a strong statement of non-tolerance towards bullying, while giving their students the chance to explore the issues, and the importance of their own role in combating it. The Roadshow's dual goal is awareness-raising and empowerment.
Actionwork's anti-bullying roadshows have attracted widespread acclaim during recent tours, from audiences, host venues and the media alike. In addition:
- The Roadshow can be performed twice in one day
- The Roadshow raises key questions within the issues
- The Roadshows are highly entertaining, as well as being powerful, evocative and thought provoking
About the show:
The show is a gritty and powerful drama that does not preach or condescend. There is generally an element of humour and has a fusion of styles including song, dance and storytelling.
The Workshop
How can the central character liberate themselves? The show offers no solutions. Instead we ask the audience to join us in exploring some of the paths that the central characters can choose to take, and give them a chance to confront their situation creatively. The message that we are all responsible for the struggle against bullying is central.
The Resource DVD
This Anti-Bullying Resource DVD is given to all schools who book the roadshow and is packed full of tips, role-plays, resources and follow-up lesson ideas. In addition to showing some of the horrors of bullying, we are also given examples of how to deal with difficult situations, bullying statistics, interviews, follow-up work and a host of resources.
The Lesson Plan
Every school that books the Roadshow will be given a one-hour anti-bullying lesson plan to help teachers follow-up our visit.
