PROJECT
FINISHED
The over-all aim of the planned project is to establish training on violence prevention and de-escalation in pre- and primary school settings on a regular basis by developing the social and civic competences in children. The project focuses on a new angle of violence prevention. Usually, it is seen as a direct involvement in already existing dangerous situations. Thus, training includes e.g. the recognizing of signs of violence to help the attacked to get out of the situation. That includes e.g. domestic or institutional violence. This project, however, sees violence prevention training as a measure to help all children to become “stronger”. That includes those that have not even experienced direct violence. The project aims at training teachers/ educators to teach children how to become stronger using the method of immersion to have a long-lasting effect on the children. The teachers use arising situations as learning source. The project aims to advance the “Collection of Exercises" developed in the previous project “Stronger children – less violence” and adapt it for primary schools and test it in new countries also for pre-schools. Further, for pre- and primary schools new exercises for intercultural understanding and inclusion of children with special needs will be developed and tested. A group of six partner organizations from different european countries is formed to gain this objective.
