The Bthat1 Philosophy

The Bthat1 Campaign values the power and potential of one person to positively affect the lives of others. Rather than exclude, accuse, or expect others to do while others observe, Bthat1 promotes the inclusion of all members of our global community to take ownership of their communities as active players and agents of change. The Bthat1 initiative advocates for: cultural inclusion on all levels (age, race, gender, class, etc.) toward positive systemic change, values new perspectives that lead to new insights, and supports the power and impact of one shared vision for global healing.

The Bthat1 School Vision

Communities are built and naturally develop around key social structures (churches, retail outlets, & schools). This provides natural access points for the community to come together and respond to community concerns. Bthat1 focuses communal energy on the fundamental messages of acceptance, compassion, and inclusion within school communities rather than the “anti” discourse (anti-bullying, anti-violence, anti-oppression). The Bthat1 community level vision is for all partners of a community to come together and be active agents of positive change to promote new growth, new relationships, and develop new resources.
