The VISIONARIES-NET project
"The VISIONARIES-NET project – a co-operation of experts from Germany, France, Spain and Romania - brings together persons engaged in violence prevention in school and aims to making them learn from one another. This will be realised by conducting online conferences with experts and practitioners as well as by initiating the formation of an International online community on violence prevention in schools that builds on the VISIONARY portal the precursor project of this project.
VISIONARY portal is a European collaborative project on school bullying and violence (SBV), addressing teachers, parents, professionals, pupils and others interested in the topic. The portal aims to help all who search for background information on SBV, project descriptions, good practice, materials and other resources on SBV in the Internet. With our portal we also want to support all who are interested in exchanging ideas and experiences with others on an International level. The main sections are available in each of the languages of our present and former partner countries: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Danish and Finish.
