VIOLE-LABLaboratorio Pedagogico sulla Violenza ai Minori

It promotes a  culture of childhood that legitimizes children’s participation in society to protect them and to take care of the children that have been harmed by adults. VIOLE-LAB also aims at promoting their personal resources so that they can face the violence they deal with in everyday life. Violence against children is an educational and social emergency that questions our conscience and requires that the whole community takes responsibility. More and more often children are victims of adult’s violence, both when they are directly harmed by it but also when they face it indirectly in their everyday lives (in the family, school, media).

Only some cases of violence reach public awareness, most violence instead remains invisible, misunderstood and denied.
It is a duty of all those who take care of children at any level (research, institutions, welfare services, citizens ) to face the problem by overcoming the reluctance that surrounds this dramatic phenomenon.
VIOLE-LAB puts forward an ensemble of different measures that aim at offering  an important contribution to the construction of a responsible and respectful society for every single kid and  teenager.
