DAPHNE
In the framework of the transnational project DAPHNE- Emergency brake and entitled: “The contribution of non-formal education to the prevention of violence among young people with limited opportunities / threatened with social exclusion”, 7 institutions coordinated by the Landesjugendwerk AWO Thuringia Germany and partner institutions:
- the Prevention Centre “Elpida” and “ANATOLIKI S.A.”, Greece
- the non-governmental organisation “CUBIC”, Austria.
- the Youth Organisation “Mladinski Ceh”, Slovenia.
- the Cultural Organisation “Abierto Asturias”, Spain.
- the ‘Ale Fritid’ organisation of the Youth Department of the Municipality of Ale, Sweden
collaborated in a project funded by the European Union for the period 2006-2007.
The overall aim and specific objectives of the project are:
- the exploration of the concept and mechanisms of violence, its forms of expression,
- the exchange of knowledge and experience of the organisations participating in the programme
- the taking of initiatives and the implementation of actions, each one through the organization he represents and in his area, with the central goal of always preventing violence among the youth of his country
- the development of material promoting the adoption of inclusive ways of resolving conflicts among young people,
- training “multipliers” – people who work with young people and can organise violence prevention activities,
- raising awareness among politicians and representatives of national government decision-makers through documentation reports during and after the project.
The result of the two-year collaboration was the creation of educational material on the prevention of violence and aggression in adolescents.
