#WeStandTogether

KEY103's backing a campaign calling on communities across Greater Manchester to continue standing together in the aftermath of the Arena attack.

We'll be working with the Manchester Evening News to help push their calls for so-called 'Peace studies' to be taught in schools.

The idea's also to encourage people to help stamp out hate crime and carry out acts of kindness - using the hashtag 'We Stand Together'.

Rob Irvine, Editor in Chief of the Manchester Evening News, said:

"We all felt the pain of the aftermath of what happened on May 22nd but we all know that this is a city full of brilliant people and what we can do as a radio station and as a news organisation is to work together to really give a voice to those who want to make it a kinder, more tollerant, more peaceful city."

The Manchester Evening News has launched its #WeStandTogether campaign, in partnership with the Peace Foundation and Greater Manchester Police.

The #WeStandTogether campaign's goals include making sure every child in Greater Manchester is taught about how to solve life’s problems peacefully and without turning to violence, by getting peace studies taught in schools.

If successful in getting peace studies added to the curriculum, Manchester would be a pilot for rolling it out nationally.
