"The aim of the project ""Violence- An Important Problem” is to develop and implement new solutions in the sector of educating adults, especially those facing the risk of social exclusion; to broaden and develop the competence of educators, especially in terms of effective teaching adults with low interpersonal skills; to deepen the knowledge about different types of violence: domestic, against women, on the Internet, in the stadiums, racial, xenophobic ,against old people, as well as eliminate and prevent this phenomenon; to support the development of social, civic and intercultural competence, media literacy and critical thinking among adults, as well as combating discrimination, segregation, racism, aggression and violence; to exchange experiences and good practices concerning prevention and the ways of recognizing the victims of violence in the local environment. Countries participating in the project represent different regions of Europe (Poland, Romania, Italy, Belgium). In some of them the biggest problem is violence against immigrants, in the others domestic violence dominates. In all the countries there is a new problem-hate speech.The project participants will be the educators of adult staff and learners. We expect to invite at least one hundred people (both educators and learners) to participate in the local and international activities. We are planning two mobilities for educators and two for learners. The number of indirect participants (members of local communities, readers of web site, etc.) will be about 600 people. The following activities are planned as part of the project: workshops, seminars, study visits, training of interpersonal skills, and participation in campaigns focused on the prevention of violence. We expect that the educators will not only improve their knowledge about violence but also their skills concerning various forms of work with adults (peer-learning method, drama, project method, learning by doing, using IT). The planned products are: workshops on various forms of violence, training of interpersonal skills, conferences promoting tolerance and human rights, seminars, events for the local communities, logo and website of the project, newsletters, surveys, teaching materials for trainers and educators (which we plan publish in the form of an e-brochure). The expected results are: increasing the competence of the participants (educators and students); increasing self-esteem and self-confidence among the participants of the project; learning how to deal with stress; increasing the involvement of the participants on the local level; increasing skills and competence in providing assistance to the victims of violence; increasing the interest in the problem of violence among local communities (authorities, organizations, associations, etc.) in order to broaden the knowledge of different types of violence among the project’s participants and local partners, and consequently identify its most serious forms and ways to combat them using the mechanisms and tools applied in other participating countries. The expected long-term benefits are: implementing the new methods and forms of working with adults into the plans of action of various organizations; changing attitudes towards potential victims of violence in the local environment; the continuation of the international cooperation between the partners once the project finishes; participation in the similar actions in the future."
