e3creative is working for lesbian, gay and bisexual charity Stonewall to help stamp out homophobic bullying in Britain’s schools by launching a new website for primary schools.
The new website showcases the charity’s film FREE which is aimed at primary school children and follows the stories of four young people as they explore family, friendship and what it means to be yourself.
Jake Welsh, director of the Manchester agency, said: “Stonewall shocked us when they told us how widespread homophobic bullying is in primary schools. Bullying of this nature is often not discussed, with many teachers unsure how to even address it.”
