Call for Action
“Bridges for Hope and Peace” (B4HP - NGO) aims to support psycho-social involvement in conflict-prone settings through developing NVR training programs for future practitioners. The idea is that these practitioners will be able to spread NVR among parents and teachers, and by that reduce the violence children are facing in different contexts of their lives, especially in family and school. Read here about the efforts all the Institutes in the German speaking countries agreed about and the British support they got already.
