 VISIONARY
Violence in Schools
- Intelligence on the Net: Archives of
Resources for
Youngsters
This European project created, evaluated and documented a transnational
web-based platform for teachers, parents, pupils and experts, dealing
with issues of violence prevention in schools. We collaborated with partners
from the University of Landau, Germany; Vordingborg Statsseminarium, Denmark;
University of Joensuu, Finland; and Universidade de Lisboa in Portugal.
The project's web sites combines different forms of information and communication
technologies (ICT). The site is organised into 4 areas:
- Background - information on violence in schools and
its prevalence in each of the partner countries
- Information - our link collection, containing links
to over 100 web sites and online resources relating to violence prevention
in schools, organised by categories for ease-of-use, and a news section
containing topical news items
- Communication - discussion forum for registered users
to interact and hold conversations with each other, and a mailing list
for subscribers to receive and exchange information about violence in
schools
- VISIONARY - more information about the project and
the organisations and people involved.
The web site aims to simplify the time-consuming search for information
and materials through the development of links with other national and
transnational web sites.
By means of discussion forums and mailing lists, users are able to network
and communicate about issues, problems and alternative perspectives. The
utilisation of both the mailing lists and the discussion forums takes
into account the different communication preferences of users. Mailing
lists and discussion forums are qualitatively different environments and
will encourage different models of discourse.
There is a site specifically for UK-based materials and resources, a site
for each of the partner countries, and an International site that combines
appropriate examples of good practice from all the sites for an International
audience.
The UK site URL is: http://www.violence-in-school-uk.info
The International site URL is: http://www.violence-in-school.info
The project was supported by the SOCRATES / MINERVA programme of the
European Commission.
