RECOGNITION
“CHAMPIONS OF LIFE”
We present “Champions of Life,” our new initiative to recognize those extraordinary individuals and organizations who, without capes or superpowers (or maybe they do), fight every day for a world with values, a world that is more just, respectful, and free of bullying.
The awards will be divided into four categories to recognize different types of Champions of Life:
1.Champion of Bullying Prevention
For those who have implemented initiatives, programs, or concrete actions to effectively prevent bullying in schools.
2.Champion of Transmitting Values and Empathy
For educators, leaders, or communicators who promote the values of respect, empathy, and solidarity through teaching and example.
3. Champion of the fight to Prevent Suicide due to bullying
For those who develop and promote laws to prevent school violence, or establish methods that foster safe and healthy school environments.
4. Champion of Support and Accompaniment
For organizations that provide emotional, psychological, or social support to victims of bullying or vulnerable children in their communities.
These categories highlight different important aspects in the fight against bullying and the promotion of values, covering a wide spectrum of contributions.
They are the true heroes who defend the fundamental values of coexistence, empathy, and solidarity. From committed educators and courageous young people to organizations that transform communities, “Champions of Life” honors their efforts and dedication to creating safe spaces where everyone can live and grow with dignity.
Join us in celebrating, nominating, and supporting these agents of change who inspire by example and teach us that we can all be champions of life!
