Nonviolence is our strength!
Duration: 1.8.2020. – 31.5.2021.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Labor, Pension System, Family and Social Policy
What did we do?
The overall goal of the project was to enable children to acquire knowledge and skills about peer violence and non-violent conflict resolution outside the regular educational system, and to adopt appropriate views on the problem itself. One of the main goals of the project was to develop the emotional, cognitive and social potential of children with the ultimate goal of empowering them to deal with challenging situations in life, transferring knowledge to children about all forms of violence, learning techniques for recognizing violence and combating it using non-violent methods of communication and conflict resolution, as well as empathy, openness, tolerance and providing peer support. A total of 16 educational and 4 creative workshops were held, and after the workshops were held, a calendar was created with students' artistic and literary works on the topic of combating peer violence.
