They're great gifts to start a conversation. I've even used them on networking events to go over to strangers and start a conversation.
Organize a little event in school during the BeatBullying week or anywhere during this 2010-11 UN International Year of Youth.
Or another tip: go to some organisations or companies, ask them if they already do something around the 2010-11 UN International year for Youth and Participation.
Most people don't even know about the existence of such years. But if they hear it's about Youth and the United Nations and EU backing it up, they'll find it very attractive to use it for heir Corporate Social Responsibility and communication strategy and join it via some sponsoring money.
And ...don't underestimate the legal obligations to undertake action on the working floor against sexual intimidation and abuse of power. Some Human Resources Managers might find this useful to bring the companies policy under attention again.

The bullies and school management face serious time in jail. The case is coming over to Europe as well, where we have seen some deaths in a.o. Bulgaria where 2 girls simply killed another girl over some nice clothes and sneakers.
