NonViolent Education in Kindergartens
Violence against children is never justifiable. Nor is it inevitable. If its underlying causes are identified and addressed, violence against children is entirely preventable. (Kofi Annan)
NVE is part of IFOR´s Non-violence Education and Training Programme (NVETP) and supports consequent and sustainable implementation of non-violent education, peace education and violence prevention in kindergartens. We would like every child to experience his/her dignity and value, the practical meaning and benefits of non-violence in their daily kindergarten lives.
NVE cooperates with researchers, practitioners, institutions and individuals contributing to frameworks and implementation of kindergarten education on international, national and local levels. We would like to contribute to innovation in this important field of education and to synergies from international, national and local cooperation of those responsible for policy and provision of kindergarten education.
