CORFU. The aim is to raise awareness among pupils, members of the school community, and society as a whole against violence in schools as well as in other institutional settings such as family, work, sports, etc.

Andreas Kalvos Amphipagiton Junior High School, in collaboration with the School Mediation Schools Network of the University of Ioannina Department of Education of Pre-school Teachers, as well as schools of all levels from all over the country and municipalities, will be putting on an event against school violence and bullying entitled "Breaking the Silence, Uniting Voices Against Violence" on March 6, from 10:30 to 11:15, at Pentofanaro in Liston.

The aim is to raise awareness among pupils, members of the school community, and society as a whole against violence in schools as well as in other institutional settings such as family, work, sports, etc.

The pupils will discuss violence and bullying, the forms, the emotions of violence and bullying, how to deal with them, and how important it is to break the silence and report instances of violence and bullying.

Furthermore, as they go to the central gathering point, pupils will wear masks and enact forms of violence with certain movements. At 11:00, students will simultaneously burst a balloon. The bursting of the balloons symbolises breaking the silence, and the simultaneous action symbolises uniting voices.

The event will take place at a central point in the town with the aim of providing information and raising public awareness.
