Prevention of Violence Erasmus+ Course

PRE-REGISTER (No deposit required)

Prevention of Violence: Say NO to Bullying and Child Abuse

Erasmus+ course summary
Primary prevention plays a very important role in ensuring safe and encouraging environment for children to develop their potentials. Strengthening values of non-violence and developing skills for dealing with violence and child abuse should be our priorities. Children spend a lot of their valuable time in kindergartens and schools. With primary prevention we can build protective factors in educational organisations. We can help them to stay safe and prevent harmful effects of violence and abuse, ensure healthy personal development and raise the quality of their lives. Effective primary prevention against violence is often listed as one of important factors for preventing early school leaving. The course doesn’t offer quick solutions. Instead it shows how to provide holistic and long term support and achieve better results step by step.

​This open course is designed for teachers and counselors in preschool, primary and secondary education level. However, we have all the teaching material available also for students up to 18 years old and you can apply for a tailor-made course if your work in high or vocational school.

​Besides English some of the learning material is available in Turkish language.
