ITS AGAINST VIOLENCE: IMPROVING TEACHERS’ AND PARENTS’ SKILLS
ABOUT OVERCOMING VIOLENCE AT SCHOOLS - EU FUNDING
APPLICATION 2008.
Violence at school obstructs students to acquire basic
skills. Our aim is to make teachers and the parents of pupils
conscious how to develop their behaviours against violent events
at schools. Within the scope of our project, we are not only
planning to investigate methods concerning how to handle
violence and aggression but also research preventative methods.
It is a fact that the best solution to a problem is to stop it
from happening.
To accomplish
our aim our Foundation for Educational Partners have decided to set up a European collaborative
Project with organisations in
Turkey, Romania, Poland, Italy, UK, Lithuania and Germany who
will undertake a European survey of the causes of violence in
schools and organize seminars, discussions, and meetings with
the contributions of teachers and parents. Thus, we will also be
able to promote cultural exchanges and find out a common
multicultural solution of violence.
As a final
step of our studies, we will develop a pilot teachers training
toolkit to assist with coping with violent situations, create a
website and disseminate good applications among partners.
Within the project, the teachers and the parents participating
in the activities will be more conscious how to deal with
violence successfully. Thus, they will be more effective to
remove violence out of schools.
On 1 July 2008
the UK Government approved our application for funding and
we now await the decisions of the other Governments before being
passed to the European Commission for ratification.

Teachers will have power to search all pupils for knives:
By Rosemary Bennett, Deputy Political Editor: The Times July 03,
2006: TEACHERS will be authorised to search every pupil in their
school if they suspect that there is a knife on the premises, The
Times has learnt. Britain’s growing knife culture has prompted
ministers to draw up plans for draconian new powers to try to
prevent more schoolgate stabbings. It comes as Home Office figures
show that the number of children aged 12 to 14 convicted of carrying
knives at school doubled between 2000 and 2004 to 170...... |
