Bystander Revolution
Bystander Revolution is a website offering practical, crowdsourced advice about simple things individuals can do to defuse bullying and help shift the culture. Some of us will be bullies, some targets, but most of us will at some point be bystanders. There are many individual stories told by relevant celebrities about their experiences with bullying which I use in teaching the Cyberbully/Cybersafety unit which include strategies to move from bystander to upstander.
