Welcome.

If you’ve experienced bullying or want to learn about this issue through the eyes of those affected, this project is for you. We believe the arts have the power to communicate, inspire, and heal. Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, your voice is important. Welcome to our community. We’re so glad you’re here.

Thanks to this project I spoke out loud with my class about who I was and asked if they wanted to be part of the project too. Since that moment things got better and my classmates changed behavior not only towards me but also between each other. You taught us to let out what was inside our hearts, our guts, through art in its many shapes.

During the You Will Rise Project, I discovered that I am not alone in my struggle with dealing with the repercussions of being bullied. In addition, I discovered that dealing with things through art is extremely effective.
