PUPILS from across County Durham will swamp County Hall next month as part of an anti-bullying initiative.
Happier in School week, from July 11 to 18, is being organised by the County Durham Anti-Bullying Service, in the council's education department.
It follows last year's successful inaugural event, which was attended by thousands of pupils.
Older pupils will staff telephone lines to help youngsters suffering from bullying.
Activities will include video shoots, poster making and circle time sessions.
Display boards will be on show during the week, highlighting anti-bullying schemes operating in schools.
