\u201cTake Action Against Bullying!\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Montreal, May 31, 2019<\/strong> \u2013 Interligne gave a sneak preview of the videos produced for the \u201cTake Action Against Bullying!\u201d contest to an audience of roughly 30 young people. These videos will be unveiled on social media from June 3\u20137 as part of an online awareness campaign by young people, for young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that our videos help victims of bullying understand that they\u2019re not alone, and that people are there to help and support them,\u201d said one participant. \u201cIt\u2019s so incredible to watch actors bring your script to life!\u201d<\/p>\n

Powerful videos combat bullying among young people<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All of the scripts written by the winning teams relate to aspects of sexual orientation, gender identify and gender expression. Asexuality, lesbophobia, homophobia and what it\u2019s like being trans are all treated in an accurate and moving way by these young scriptwriters. Though these videos are each just a few minutes long, the teams managed to bring these issues to the screen and share the challenges and prejudices they face every day with other people their own age.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe teams that won the contest were very creative and came up with situations that are very real for thousands of young people. What\u2019s even more interesting about this project is that each of the videos ends on a hopeful note, or points the way to a solution for young people who may need support,\u201d remarked Pascal Vaillancourt, General Manager of Interligne. \u201cWe would also like to thank the Minist\u00e8re de la Famille and Desjardins for their financial support and their commitment to young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cTake Action Against Bullying!\u201d contest: Messages that resonate, by and for young people<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The GISA (Gender, Identity and Sexuality Alliances) contest against bullying began roughly 8 months ago. Young people aged 12-18 from all over Quebec were invited to enter the contest. They submitted their scripts, and the winning teams had their scripts filmed by a team of professionals. The winning teams were from: Louis-Philippe Par\u00e9 school in Ch\u00e2teauguay; Marc Laflamme \/ Le Pr\u00e9lude school in Pointe-aux-Trembles; Les Pacifistes youth centre in Waterville; and Lower Canada College and Saint-Jean Vianney College in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Desjardins, one of the main partners for Interligne\u2019s youth services and the presenter of its GISA program, the winning teams were able to attend the video shoots for their scripts, which were brought to life by a professional production team. The winners stayed in a hotel in Montreal, took part in the filming, and enjoyed a varied of fun activities. They also had the chance to get a few acting tips from<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay and Sophie Paradis, actors and co-spokespersons for Interligne.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf we want to enrich the lives of people and communities, we can start by embracing diversity in all its forms. We\u2019re very proud to be teaming up with Interligne to support their youth program. I know that together we can make a difference in our communities,\u201d explained Simon D\u00e9ry, head of Desjardins Group\u2019s LGBTQ+ committee and general manager of the Caisse Desjardins du Lac des Deux-Montagnes.<\/p>\n

The panel of judges included <\/strong>Nicolas Ouellet, radio host, columnist and co-spokesperson for Interligne; Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay, poet, actor and co-spokesperson for Interligne; Simon Boulerice, actor, playwright, author and co-spokesperson for Interligne; and PL Cloutier, YouTuber.<\/p>\n
