Violence prevention in schools: Findings of the symposium in Tulln

In the "House of Digitization" in Tulln, a symposium for prevention of violence took place in schools last week. This event was organized as part of the "national strategy for school violence prevention". The aim of this initiative is to sensitize pupils, teachers and parents to the topic of violence in schools and promote preventive measures.

The symposium brought together a variety of experts who shared their knowledge and experience in the field of violence prevention. Experts from various areas, including psychologists, educators and social workers, discussed paths how schools can create more secure learning environments. This includes both the sensitization for conflicts and strategies for de -escalation.

important topics and programs

A central topic of the event was the need to improve communication between students and teachers. Many experts emphasized that an open ear is crucial for the worries of the young people in order to be able to react early to signs of violence or bullying. Workshops and training programs for violence prevention were emphasized as particularly useful.

Another point was the role of parents, which should also be included in the prevention strategies. It was recommended to offer information evenings or parent workshops to raise awareness of violence prevention measures and to explain their importance in the family environment.

The symposium is a significant step in the municipal educational landscape in order to establish proactive approaches. Participating rapporteurs emphasize that the discussions and ideas that were exchanged during the event will form the basis for future measures. The organizers stated that this type of symposium should take place more regularly in the near future in order to anchor the results sustainably and continuously develop.
