Today, many young people experience racism, exclusion, or bullying.
We've been doing anti-racism and anti-bullying workshops in schools for more than 4 years now.
And we notice that unfortunately, most school can only allocate one hour, for the whole school year.
It can feel like lighting a fire… only for it to cool down right away.
At GP Scty, we believe these important conversations need more time, practice, and safe spaces to create lasting impact.
That is why we created an innovative summer camp that goes far beyond talking, your kids learn by doing.
Why Right Before the School Year starts?
The timing is intentional. By attending just before the new school year begins, your child returns to class feeling more confident, emotionally equipped, and better prepared to navigate difficult situations, whether as someone who has experienced racism or bullying, or as an ally who wants to help.
Recognize and respond to racism and bullying, without violence
Build self-confidence and emotional resilience

They practice standing up, speaking up, and supporting each other, all with kindness and without violence!
