Most of us know someone who has been bullied or we have been a victim of bullying
ourselves. In fact statistics show that 64% of kids have been bullied at school.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like encourage safe schools and a healthy
community. You can help by submitting a VIDEO that shows how our young people can
stand up and make a difference.
Purpose
The purpose of this challenge is to engage students across Chatham-Kent in bullying awareness and prevention through a video competition. It’s a chance for students between the ages of 10 18 years to creatively produce a video to help combat bullying.
The campaign is designed as an opportunity for the voices of our youth to be heard.
Task
Students are asked to create a video that addresses the theme: ‘Stand Up & Speak Out’. The video must not contain, depict or refer to anything crude, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, discriminatory, offensive or illegal. The video cannot contain, depict or refer to any irresponsible behaviour, risk to personal safety or damage to property.
Videos are to be no longer than 3 minutes in length.
Videos are welcome from students who wish to work independently or in groups. Should the video be a group effort, the group must elect a principal entrant to receive the prize and the sharing of such prize shall be the sole responsibility of the group.
Deadline to submit videos will be Friday, November 14, 2014 at 12:00 p.m.
Upload your video submission to You Tube and email the link to Const. Renee Cowell reneec@chatham-kent.ca along with your name, school and grade.
Prizes
The top three videos will be awarded prizes. The winning video will be showcased during Bullying Awareness Week which is November 17-23, 2014
