As part of GlobWorld’s ongoing effort to address the bullying epidemic that plagues our children, we are proud to offer our “Free to be!” trading cards to schools at no cost. The free trading card campaign is part of GlobWorld’s ongoing “Free to be!” mission statement, which aims to further the belief that only through accepting and celebrating what makes each of us unique individuals, children will more effectively move beyond the current culture of pervasive bullying.
“So many anti-bullying initiatives out there are of course well intentioned, but unfortunately they fail to really connect with kids and make an impact,” says GlobWorld’s Founder, Rebecca Nachlas. “What we’ve discovered is that through our kid-friendly glob characters, we’re able to more effectively engage children with this critical message.”
GlobWorld will also offer participating educators the opportunity to take the lessons a step further by utilizing interactive online components to the “Free to be!” trading cards. Students will be able to design their own custom glob characters to represent their unique sensibilities and perspective, plus the chance to join fully moderated online discussions about bullying and the importance of acceptance. For more tips about how to use “Free to be!” in the classroom, please see our Tips for Teachers page.
“Free to be!” is an evolution of 2010’s successful OMGbullyfree campaign, which featured its own set of free trading cards and an animated PSA video used in elementary schools across the country during bullying awareness seminars.
If you are a teacher or school official who would like to request “Free to be!” trading cards for your students, please reach us at feedback@globworld.com.
(NOTE: We are happy to incur the shipping costs to anywhere in the U.S.; for international requests, we can offer you downloadable PDF versions of the trading cards so that you may print and distribute them locally. Please write us for more information!)
Happy teaching,
- Your friends at GlobWorld
