Summary:

When confronted by The Scary Guy, a completely tattooed giant of a man, upper school students at St Joseph's RC High in Lancashire learn of his mission to eliminate hate, violence and prejudice worldwide. St Joseph's invited Scary to work with them for two sessions over two days. His plan is to offer students a way to change the world by taking responsibility for all of their own behaviour. Scary certainly knows how to get the full attention of his audience as his personal testimony, shock tactics and audience participation demonstrate. Once hooked he issues his 7 days and 7 nights challenge which asks them to only call people by their given name for a whole week. Harder than you think, he says. Day 2 and Scary gets down to the business of explaining his philosophy in a session he calls The Circle of Courage. Non-patronising interaction with the students, crazy diagrams and humour are the tools of his trade and he wields them with an infectious passion.
