CAPCUP - Action Centres towards a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence

The project tackles the issue of violence and would like to implement a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence, as stated by UNESCO in its manifesto declaring 2001-2010 as the decade for Peace and Non-Violence. The project aims to address this issue according to a preventive perspective and will both develop and introduce a pilot anti-violence training programme, directed particularly at the teachers and trainers of young people from 15-20 years old. The training programme will comprise three modules (sexual & physical violence, psychological violence and economic & social violence), which will draw upon the experience related by 15 individuals representing the 5 partner countries. The pilot course along with a pedagogic-didactic support mechanism will be tested by a pilot group comprising those individuals having presented their own experience for the development of the 15 training modules. Through improving the skills and abilities of educators and through new approaches to teaching and learning skills on Peace Culture, the course expects to further support a culture of Peace in young people. The partnership itself involves Universities promoting teacher training and organisations responsible for the training of trainers, both able to implement the pilot course beyond the lifetime of the project. Project dissemination will include distribution of a CD-Rom containing the eventual pilot course to existing partner networks of training and teacher training institutions, development of a dedicated project website, the hosting of a final international con the theme of violence and the publication of associated conference documentation. All products will be made available in EN, PT, DE & IT.
