This is a collaborative and reflective report on sustainable means for addressing and preventing violence in schools.
The main goals of this project have been: to raise awareness of school violence, to explore educational policies and practices with regard to school violence, to develop a scheme of recommendations for the promotion of democratic citizenship and the prevention violence at school. It addresses and contextualises the issue of eliminating violence through ECD/HRE in the participant countries, achieved by engaging stakeholders and civil society institutions (NGOs, youth organisations) that represent social groups affected by school violence, in the violence prevention model.
In this respect, the report aims to elaborate a sustainable and contextually relevant model for eliminating violence at school.
