Watch a new film every day in October during bullying prevention month!
Not In Our School is excited to present our first BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL! For each day of the month we will launch a new short film about standing up to bullying and intolerance that can be found on niot.org at the site of the film festival, and will also be posted to the NIOS Facebook page.

Some films are NIOT originals, while others are made by youth speaking out in a wide variety of creative ways.
