The week against violence into schools is an initiative instituted from 2009 thanks to a Memorandum of Understanding between UNAR, the Department of Equal Opportunities and the Ministry of Education, University and Research. Objective of the initiative is to favour the prevention and the opposition of all acts of violence, bullying and intolerance, including those based on race, sexual orientation, religion and gender.
The campaigns takes place in autumn, between the months of October and November, involving all grades schools in activities of awareness, information and training directed to students, parents and teachers regarding the prevention and opposition to any kind of violence and discrimination.
