Online Conferences on School Bullying and Violence

As a part of the VISIONARIES-NET project - funded by the Socrates / Minerva program of the European Commission - we will hold five asynchronous online conferences on school bullying and violence. Each of the conferences will be open for four weeks and addresses different groups of experts from different countries and cultures throughout the world. The overall aim of our conferences is to bring together persons engaged in violence prevention in school and to make them learn from one another. By the end of the project the outcomes of all conferences will get published on this web site in form of an e-book.

You can read and discuss selected outcomes of our conferences with us and other users in our Conference Blog
