The training unit (TU), developed in the Pestalozzi Programme in the Education for the prevention of violence at schools (VIO) module, consists of ten activities, including an assessment session, divided into two sessions for initial and in-service training for groups of up to 20 people.
The TU is focused on developing teachers’ skills in order to create a safe and child-friendly learning environment in school. The TU was designed for two sessions, aiming at developing and strengthening teachers' ability not to remain indifferent to cases of demonstrative violence and to promote Convivencia.
The TU contains interactive activities that facilitate learning through cooperation, focussing on experiences, opinions and attitudes.
Interactive teaching-learning-evaluating methods are used that develop participants’ skills; these can also be used subsequently in classes.
