Module A of “Education for the prevention of violence in schools” was held in the Council of Europe’s European Youth Centre in Strasbourg from November 29th to December 2nd 2011.
Because violence in schools is recognized as a global problem in all European countries, a great number of nominations for the Module were received. Thus, it was possible to select 43 participants from 23 different European countries.
Module B of “Education for the prevention of violence in schools” was held at the Rafael Hotel, Madrid, Spain from 20th – 22nd June 2012. The Module B was organised with the support of the Gobierno de Espana, Ministerio de Educacion, Cultura y Deporte and the Organismo Autonomo Programas Educativos Europeos (APEE).

The five phases of the module series were coordinated by a team of facilitators – Ms Carmen BECKER, Germany, Mr Aart FRANKEN, Netherlands - led by Ms Višnja RAJIC, Croatia. The coordination of the methodological approach was carried out by the General Rapporteur, Ms Pascale Mompoint-Gaillard in close collaboration with the Secretariat. The training units, edited by Ms Višnja RAJIC, are now available for interested teachers and teacher trainers to try them out, to adapt them and further develop them. The Pestalozzi Programme would appreciate feedback on the available resources, including further resources developed on the basis of the model in its online collection.
