Prevention of Violence: Say NO to Bullying and Child AbuseErasmus+ course summary
Effective primary prevention of violence is often listed as one of the most important factors for creating encouraging environment for children, preventing early school leaving and development of their potentials. Since children spend a lot of their valuable time in kindergartens and schools we should focus on strengthening the values of non-violence and developing skills for dealing with violence and child abuse. The course doesn’t offer quick solutions, but it instead shows how to provide holistic and long term support and achieve better results step by step. It is designed for teachers and counselors in preschool, primary and secondary education level. We do have all 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. "Before you speak think: Is it True, is it Helpful, is it Inspiring, is it Necessary, is it Kind?"
