Atlanta Stands Up to Bullying

Описание: On October 19, in conjunction with Stop Bullying Unity Day, Bark Technologies and Cox Enterprises hosted the Atlanta Stands Up to Bullying luncheon. The event brought together community leaders in Atlanta, along with private and public school leaders, to discuss the issue of cyberbullying and other online risks children face.

The format consisted of three expert presentations followed by a Q&A with the panel.
