Description
The aim of the project is to increase the awareness of the inhabitants of the Łubniany Municipality about the phenomenon of domestic violence and empathy for those experiencing it. We address the project to the residents of the municipality (especially families with experience of foreign labour migration) and services responsible for counteracting violence. As part of the project, we run a student theatre for elementary school students in grades 6-8 and 10 volunteers – adult residents of the municipality. We provide training for teaching staff on child abuse intervention and effective communication with children and parents. We introduce parents of children in grades 4-8 to the topic of dialogue instead of punishment and prepare them to deal with crisis situations. We implement cooking workshops for families entitled. ‘Saturday at the pots’, where we introduce them to the idea of zero waste and ideas for preparing desserts for children using organic ingredients. A psychologist participates in the workshops as an observer of the families providing support when needed. We offer psychological support to people experiencing violence and their families in the form of telephone consultations with specialists. We provide training for 24 members of the interdisciplinary team on the Blue Card procedure and working with victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. We will present the results of the project and good practices in the field of counteracting domestic violence during a conference summarising the project. The project is implemented in cooperation with the Łubniany Municipality, elementary schools and the Łubniany Cultural Centre. In particular, the partners support us in the recruitment and promotion of the project and provide rooms for the training sessions.
