A 1000 Women Trust competition encouraging learners to become change-makers

# The One Thousand Women Trust has launched a competition titled From-Bystander-to-Upstander to mobilise learners across South African schools to address bullying. Learners are encouraged to showcase how the 5 D’s of being an upstander, Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct, can be utilised to intervene when bullying occurs at schools. This can be done through creative mediums such as posters, songs, poems, stories, or graffiti. The organisation’s co-founder, Tina Thiart, says the fun-filled competition it encourages innovative ways of speaking out against bullying.
