In Pazardzhik, IGA will present a new experimental methodology for preventing violence among children

On September 29 from 10:00 a.m. at Grand Hotel “Hébar” in Pazardzhik, the closing event of the project “Prevention of Violence Between Children” will take place. The project is implemented by the IGA Foundation and is funded under the INSPIRE Program by the Foundation “Workshop for Civic Initiatives” and the European Commission. During the event, the “First Seven” will be presented — an innovative experimental methodology for teaching social-emotional skills in kindergarten and in primary school, from first to third grade. These skills cover behavior and abilities considered essential for successful functioning in society at an early age.

The methodology is based on role-modeling, positive example from the teacher, and everyday-life situations to reinforce the skills. It includes all necessary data, materials, and instructions and will be publicly accessible.

The project “Prevention of Violence Between Children” is implemented within INSPIRE: Improving national support for prevention, intervention, and response to violence against children, as well as empowering victims. The project is co-financed by the European Union and the Foundation “Workshop for Civic Initiatives” (FRGI).
