Take ACTION against bullying : 2nd edition<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n
A script writing competition to combat bullying related to sexual orientation and gender<\/h4>\n
\n\nMobilize yourself and take part in a contest by Interligne<\/a>: send us a scenario on the subject of bullying, and you could win the chance to see your scenario turned into a short film and diffused on social networks as part of an awareness campaign!\n
\n\nOur organization<\/h4>\nAt Interligne, our mission is to offer help and support anyone who has questions or concerns about sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. To refer to all of these realities, we use the term LGBTQ+. If you don’t know this term, check out Diversity vocabulary<\/a><\/strong> to learn more.
\nWe also offer tools and support to anyone between the ages of 12 and 25 who wants to create a GISA <\/a><\/strong>in their school or other youth environments: a GISA is a safe space open to everyone, which can be used to raise awareness, but also to make people who represent sexual and gender diversity shine.
\nNow that you understand Interligne, you can see why our contest is focused on issues surrounding sexual orientation, identity and gender expression. Helping people who are concerned with these realities is our “raison d’\u00eatre”!<\/strong>\n
\n\nHow can you participate in the contest?<\/h4>\nParticipating is simple. You just need to:\n
- Put together a team of 3 to 8 people\n
- Fill in the application form<\/a> for your team\n
- Consult our list of themes <\/a><\/strong>and choose the one that inspires you the most.\n
From there, you and your team are free to create an original scenario that could turn into an impactful video to diffuse on social media as part of an anti-bullying campaign. So don’t hesitate, let your imagination go, and send us a scenario that will get people thinking about bullying and some potential solutions!
\n\n\nWho can participate? <\/h4>\nTo apply for the contest, you and your team must either be between the ages of 12 and 18, or attend a high school, college or Cegep.
\nGood to know : <\/strong>Bullying can affect everyone! Sometimes, people who are heterosexual and cisgendered<\/a> may be subject to similar kinds of discrimination as members of the LGBTQ + communities, as assumptions about their sexual orientation or gender expression can be hurtful. This kind of discrimination can be just as serious.
\n\n\nWhat can you win?<\/h4>\nIf your screnario is selected, your video will be produced by a professional crew and you can choose to participate in the shooting of your video, with support from the crew and personalities from the artistic community.\n
\nWinning teams will be invited to stay in Montreal while the video is filmed with accommodations, transportation and meals provided for by Interligne. You will get to be on set during filming and could even play a part in your video! On top of all that, Interligne will keep you busy with exciting activities in the city. \n
\n\nSo, if you have a creative mind and desire to take ACTION for change, this contest is for you!<\/strong>\n

Today, bullying, violence and harassment in Canadian and Quebec schools are more and more numerous and worrying, and can take different forms depending on the context and age of youth:<\/strong>
\n- L\u20192010-2011 Quebec High School Youth Health Survey <\/i> shows that more than one-third of high school students experienced some form of bullying during their schooling: 42% of boys said they were intimidated at school or on the way from school to home. For girls, the number drops to 29%. Young girls are not spared as they are victims of more cyberbullying. They are 7% to have been cyberintimid\u00e9es at least once, against 4% of boys.\n
- For those who are concerned about sexual and gender diversity, the figures related to bullying are doubly worrying. For example, almost two-thirds (64%) of LGBTQ students and 61% of students with LGBTQ parents say they do not feel safe at school. In addition, 70% of all participants, LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ students, report hearing expressions such as “that’s so gay” on a daily basis and almost half (48%), comments such as “fag” and “dyke”. ( Every class in every school, Egale Canada, 2011 <\/i>)\n
- Despite a drop in bullying rates in recent years at the elementary level, this rate remains stable for youth of secondary school age, which means that there is no real improvement in the situation. In addition, according to this survey, the school grounds remain the place where the largest number of students say they feel “at risk”. In high school, for example, lockers would be the most feared place. ( National Survey on Violence in School 2013-2015 <\/i>)
