16 Days Of Action Newsletter 2016 Edition | Page 12

Young People Getting Involved Pupils from High Schools across Forth Valley are once again supporting the 16 Days of Action campaign and are planning a range of initiatives to ensure fellow pupils and teachers are engaged and informed. There are many curricular links which can be developed through involvement in the campaign. It ties in with Curriculum for Excellence in many different ways as well as being used as the basis for creative projects including drama, art, music and writing. If your school would like to support the campaign next year or take forward work around violence against women over the coming year please email: [email protected] in the first instance. Some schools in Forth Valley will be taking part in a creative planting project to raise awareness of the White Ribbon campaign. They will grow seeds which will later be planted in White Ribbon themed arrangements at schools and other community locations. These will create symbolic backdrops for local White Ribbon activities and visibly embed the campaign within communities.
