Thousands of Victorian students came together to form a human rainbow in support of inclusive and safe communities for Wear It Purple Day.
Captured from above by a Victorian Police helicopter, students from Coburg High, Brunswick South Primary and Pascoe Vale Girls College created largescale human art forms. The footage formed part of the Domino Effect, a short film that promotes active bystander actions to address bullying and discrimination of LGBTIQA+ people.
Choreographed by Merri Health's community development officer Russ Pirie, the event was optional for students and part of an ongoing partnership with Victoria Police.
"To see so many students stand up for inclusive communities was incredible. It shows that students understand the need for safe spaces," Russ said.
Domino Effect is available on Friday, 30 August on Wear It Purple Day at https://youtu.be/NHP3ZQ9cgTI.
