What is RESPECT ?

Violence is omnipresent and also doesn’t stop in the living spaces of schools. The types of violence at schools are quite diverse, ranging from group and one on one bullying, internet bullying, threats, extortion, vandalism to xenophobia and racism. It is a challenge to break the existing cycles of violence for all involved e.g. parents, the schools, associations, companies and also municipalities. With the RESPECT – campaign for nonviolent schools, the schools and municipalities are provided with a proven resource and solution-oriented violence prevention approach. RESPECT is an open platform, inspiring action and built under and within the existing prevention activities and new intra-school and inter-school projects. The Aim of the project is to structurally anchor the prevention of violence in schools and municipalities and to reach schools and supra-institutional networks on this subject.
