From 11 to 13 of May 2011, CESIE – European Centre of Studies and Initiatives and Ubuntu Cultures Centre organised an international conference about violence prevention education. The meeting took place at Link-Officine Mediterranee, within the project “Stronger Children, Less Violence” “DAPHNE” Programme, funded by the European Commission.
Teachers, trainers, parents and organisations engaged in training, had the occasion to discuss on how to educate preschool-age children to non-violent behaviour and how to prevent aggressive and bullying situations.
About 30 participants from 6 European countries took part in activities and seminars using different training methods (from social drama to non-verbal communication) and they also had the opportunity to visit three of the most operative centres for children in Palermo: the “Giardino di Madre Teresa”, “Santa Chiara” and “Ubuntu”.
For further information about the Project and/or the training materials, that will be soon free available for parents and teachers, please do not hesitate to contact partnership@cesie.org.
