LET'S STOP VIOLENCE AT SCHOOL THROUGH ART, SPORTS AND LITERATURE
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our project aims to reduce violence and bullying in our schools by creating opportunities for social interaction and inter cultural dialogue among the young people from partner countries. On account of all these, the students will be engaged in researching and collecting material to be exchanged&analyzed. The assertion of our own cultural identity in respect of each, is extremely important especially in era where the phenomena of globalization is leading our younger generations almost to forget about their past origins and to level cultures. It is also very important to stress that the project activities will be aimed at promoting and enhancing positive behaviors while preventing the negative ones. This is an age in which bullying and violence are becoming an increasingly urging problem, to be solved both at school and outside it. That’s why, at the heart of the project, there'll be the following fundamental points: -The continuous evaluation of both the recovery of the cultural characteristics of each participant country through its traditional arts&the interference due to globalization -The promotion of basic skills, ICT skills and foreign language skills -The idea of the school as a place of excellence in constructively learning&participating in civic life -In a way,violence is affected by poverty and social exclusion so that our Project will have a positive approach on this case -The desire to collaborate with local®ional institutions. -We give big importance of prevention of early school leaving and increase of university students so we will study on the case by the teachers connecting with our project’s activities. Activities will aim to promote and enhance positive behaviors while preventing negative ones. We are aiming to involve about 900 pupils, some of whom have special needs, in our project. Our project has four partner from four different countries.
