In the educational part, the children participated in a discussion on a given topic, got acquainted with the types of violence, how to recognize and react adequately in order to protect themselves and others. Then, a joint panel of children's works was made, which showed different situations that children encounter in relation to their peers. We must not forget that every child has the right to live without violence.
