The Opposite of Bully: Upstanders

Ms. Sheila Arnold brings to us this one-hour program that uses folktales, historical stories, songs and an activity to talk about the opposite of the word “bullying”: encouraging, protecting, reassuring, accepting, etc. Aside from creating awareness, this program also encourages students to become compassionate and “upstanders”, standing up for others who are being bullied or not treated fairly.

Sheila Arnold is a professional storyteller, teaching artist and historical consultant, who is helping schools, museums and many other organizations educate through the art of storytelling in order to build bridges and change minds.
