Start and finish time of webinar
1pm - 3pm

Social norms influencing violence in schools, its forms, and prevalence is under researched in South Eastern Europe. In order to contribute to improved evidence, the Child Protection Hub has launched a regional research in 2020 in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Moldova, Romania and Serbia to explore the social norms that influence violence in schools. 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, but also what social norms are influencing these forms. Children also discussed what are factors of resilience for them against violence.  This research was done despite the COVID-19 pandemic: researchers worked around school closures, lockdowns, etc. to speak and discuss with children in a safe environment.

During this webinar, Slavica Milojevic and Tatjana Lazor Obradovic, who have conducted this research in Serbia, will be presenting main findings and results from Serbia.
