What is FABAD
FABAD stands for Friends against Bullying and Discrimination is a peer support group for students, run by trained anti-bullying leaders. FABAD club members spread the message that bullying is wrong, celebrate differences and offer support. FABAD was started with the help of Diversity Hub in 1999, and works for a no-prejudice, no injustice world. We meet in mobile 1 on a Tuesday lunchtime.
FABAD aims to teach people to:
1. Recognise and appreciate the different identities each person holds.
2. Feel pride in the groups to which they belong.
3. Understand how stereotyping (pre-judging) results in different groups being mistreated or bullied.
4. Recognise how past mistreatment and hurt results in attacks on others.
5. Develop effective skills in getting involved when there is bullying, prejudice or mistreatment, in a way that bullies are helped to recognise the reasons for their behaviour and to make positive changes.
6. Help to educate others and be supportive to each other.
