FREE2B CHALLENGES BULLYING BEHAVIOR
Nearly one in five students, in an average classroom, experiences bullying in some form. This negative behavior affects everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Our kids deserve to feel safe. But when they experience bullying, the effects can last long into their future. To address this issue, LCE has joined with experts from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to develop a multi-sensory anti-bullying program. Free 2B uses cinematic storytelling and multi-sensory technology to bring to life key issues such as: physical and verbal bullying, social bullying, ostracism, cyber bullying, and the various roles in bullying (bully, victim, bystanders). Free2B also provides tools to report, assist and support bullying victims. A follow-up web and mobile experience extends the learning and the impact to create lasting change.

This is the most innovative and technologically sophisticated bullying prevention program possible and the outcomes speak out loud.
