Around 200 stakeholders took part in the “Social Emotional Learning & Bullying Prevention symposium”, held by the Peace Grantmakers Network yesterday in Montreal. The goal of this symposium was to discuss the crucial problem of bullying and try to find solutions to eliminate it.
As the Simple Plan Foundation is one of the donators of the Peace Grantmakers Network and one of its goals is also to stop bullying, two members of Simple Plan – Jeff Stinco and Sebastien Lefebvre – were also among the attendees of the event yesterday.
“There have been cases of quite tragic admirers of ours, who have had big problems with bullying, who have suffered a lot of violence at school, and we talk quite openly about this problem. So, instead of staying silent, we try to stand up and just go and help them in some way.” – Jeff Stinco [source: canoe.ca]
