Preventive workshops

Workshops are targeted to pupils, students and other interested groups. Participants get information on violence. They can learn why nonviolence works and how to use nonviolent ways of communication. We encourage them to seek a sense of power in them and not in a position of power over others.

We try to give everyone the opportunity to participate and express their own ideas and opinions. That is why we use different techniques such as get-to-know-each-other exercises, icebreaker exercises, a guided group discussion, reflection in pairs or groups, role-play, audio-visual techniques, creative activities, social interaction games and lectures. We adapt the techniques to the needs of the workshop participants.

Intervention workshops
We conduct intervention workshops when violence or communication problems ocurr at school or in a particular class. We tailor the themes and techniques to a specific situation. We also conduct intervention workshops for employees and parents, in order to better deal with the situation and better solve problems.

Activism and cooperation with the media are important parts of our work. Through the media, we can raise awareness of the harmfulness and unacceptability of violence and inform people about available support services. The media play an important role in spreading social awareness of non-violence and informing about possible forms of assistance. That is why we organize press conferences, cooperate with journalists and invite them to our conferences and educational activities.

Every year, between 25th of November and 10th of December, during the international days of activism against gender-based violence, we organize different events. These and other important actions and campaigns are accompanied by posters and presentation materials. Media also covers the events.

Part of our awareness-raising activities is also our Facebook profile and website.

We organize lectures, conferences and seminars we actively participate in round tables or other events. We provide expert consultations and discussions. We are committed to maintaining and promoting contacts with experts in various fields.

We offer lectures, seminars and intervention workshops for teachers, parents, pupils, students and others who work with children and youth (professionals in Youth Centres, Day Care Centres, boarding schools, kindergartens etc.). Moreover, we have carried out an extensive educational programme for professional workers in all Slovenian prisons (including the youth prison). We have been running preventive workshops in primary and secondary schools, mainly on topics of violence in the family, gender based violence, peer violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence, dating violence, discrimination etc.

Lectures and seminars
Lectures and seminars are targeted to teachers in elementary and secondary schools, parents, pupils, students and as well to all others who work with children and young people, such as professionals in Youth Care Centres, Day Care Centres, Youth Centres, boarding schools, kindergartens and other institutions.

We discuss the topic, content and conduct of lectures individually with clients. We take into account specific features and expectations of the target group.
