About the conference

"If we learn all our lives that violence is okay, by the age of 20 [we] will not see a problem [with] that." (Young participant from Croatia)

Social norms influencing violence in schools, its forms and prevalence are under-researched in South Eastern Europe. In order to contribute to improved evidence, in 2020, the Child Protection Hub launched a regional research initiative in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania and Serbia. The research methodology, developed by the International Institute for Child Rights and Development, was highly participatory and explored the forms of violence children experience in and around schools, its prevalence, and the social norms influencing it. Children also discussed factors of resilience against violence. This research was carried out despite the COVID-19 pandemic: researchers worked around school closures, lockdowns, etc. to speak with children and discuss these issues in a safe environment.

During this half-day event, we will be presenting the main findings of this large undertaking at an online conference. The national reports, as well as a regional synthesis, will be made available for participants. All speakers will follow the TED talks format, i.e. speaking to the audience for a maximum of 15 minutes about their findings. There will be three sessions of 3 presentations, followed by Q&A, during which the audience can pose questions. Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Albanian interpreters will be available and live captioning will be included.
