FaceUp
FaceUp is a startup created by high school students in collaboration with major experts. We fight against bullying, sexual assault, group exclusion and other social issues at schools around the world.
How do we help
The base of all of our activities is the website and mobile app. They both work as a virtual anonymous reporting platform. We also work with influencers whose videos and posts about bullying have reached millions of students, parents and teachers.
We work with many organizations that focus on preventing or dealing with bullying and help schools with prevention through sharing leaflets, posters and other materials. We're also active in lobbying for the support of school psychologists, counselors and other professionals.
We discuss the problems of bullying in the media and often interview the victims of bullying. Through our social media channels, we regularly reach thousands of followers through our messages about the prevalence of bullying.
Not only for schools
Our team does their best to turn bystanders into active helpers. Bullying is not just a problem of elementary, middle or high school. We're currently working on a version designed for companies, summer camps and sports clubs. If you want to find out more, email jan@faceup.com
