Signing up with your class can be a lesson in itself! There are many issues to talk about in terms of internet safety. Why not take the opportunity to discuss issues of privacy and how to stay safe online?

In the Big March Park there will also be special tents by organisations like Google with a whole range of videos that show young people how to use the web safely.

What's The Big March all about?

The Big March will be a digital first - a truly groundbreaking collaborative campaign hosted entirely online and set to culminate at No. 10 Downing Street, where our virtual marchers will hand in a Petition asking Government for help to protect children from bullying, violence and harassment.

Companies and brands including Google, YouTube, Facebook, Barry M, Piczo, Stardoll, Habbo, Pom Bear, Girlguiding UK, Mumsnet, National Union of Students, the Metropolitan Police, TOTAL Little Learners and Robinson Fruit Shoot have joined forces with numerous charities including the Office of the Children's Commissioner, the Prince's Trust, Children England, Action for Children and Raceonline2012 to allow the Big March to make a stand on their websites.

To mark the launch of Anti-Bullying Week on Nov 15, The Big March will see avatars of children, parents, teachers and celebrities march across computer screens, via partner websites, to take a stand against bullying, with tens of thousands of parents, kids, teachers and adults expected to participate.

You can join the Big March by becoming a fan on Facebook, following us on Twitter, wearing your Beatbullying Big March SillyBand with pride or by visiting The Big March Park

How does The Big March actually work?

This website, The Big March Park, has been set up so that you can join The Big March in November and get access to lots of new interactive materials. When you join, you make a little avatar of yourself and give it a username. All these avatars and usernames go into a big database and on November 15th, the day of the Big March, this information is dynamically pulled out of the database and *spread* across all the websites of the participating partners. Each avatar that goes on the Big March will cross all of the participating partner websites and will be taking part with celebrities and other well-known public figures.

The Big March is set to start at 8am and finish at 7pm - the route of the March will be published closer to Anti-Bullying Week.

Wristbands + resources

This year, Aston from JLS has designed the wristbands especially for Beatbullying. They can be pre-ordered using the pdf form which you can download here. This year, we have built a very special website called The Big March Park for teachers, parents and young people, where you can take part in all sorts of online activities and download lesson plans. By Anti-Bullying Week there will be so much going on in the Park, it could keep you busy for a whole week with your classes and groups!
