Celebrate National Ban Bullying At Work Day - UK

Auracle Music and Beat Bullying, the UK's first national anti-bullying children's charity that aims to stop bullying where it starts, present an afternoon of music, poetry, art and performance on Sunday, November 4th at the Ram Jam Club, Kingston-Upon-Thames.

November is an important month for developing public awareness of anti-bullying causes, with National Ban Bullying at Work Day taking place on November 7th and Anti-Bullying Week happening during November 19-23.

That's why we're kicking off the month's activities with a special fundraiser event filled with exciting performances and displays of work by a diverse group of international artists and performers, many of whom have, themselves, been targets of workplace bullying.

The preliminary scheduled lineup includes performances by Tiramisu (soprano and accordian duo), Lizard (folk rock band), Artressa Phunding (performance art), the Lori Fredrics combo with bassist, Eric Rupert (jazz), poems by Jane Doe, projected images by Lin Johnson, Joan Mallon and others, and special guest artists TBA.

Admission is £10 with all proceeds going to benefit Beat Bullying. Lunch service is available for purchase from 1:00 p.m. with performances starting at 2:30 p.m. and lasting until 5:00 p.m.

Great - maybe we could use this blog to highlight events ...

I am particularly interested to hear about UCU's plans for this day....

..... research (Boynton 2005) suggests that workplace bullying is rife in Universities...

UCU does represent members who work in universities......

... during the UCU elections very little was said about work place bullying... I was particularly struck by the silence from Sally Hunt on this issue.....

... do you remember our concern about this Sally?

....nothing that has happened since that research was published in the THES suggests that the situation has improved at all....

So Sally what are your plans... for ban bullying day ... ?
