Bullying creates deep emotional scars in children.
The project is working to transform schools, camps, and other youth organizations into more compassionate, safe, and respectful environments for children. All use inspiring music and video, as well as materials based on well-tested, highly regarded conflict resolution curricula developed by the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program of Educators for Social Responsibility. It is designed to provide teachers, school counselors, social workers, administrators, and other education professionals with an entry point for the introduction of year-round social and emotional learning and character education programs. It also offers educators an opportunity to energize existing efforts of this kind. The Don't Laugh at Me Project is currently in a pilot phase.
