The training unit, developed in the Pestalozzi Programme in the Education for the prevention of violence at schools (VIO) module, consists of nine activities, including a debriefing session for initial and in-service training for a group of up to 16 teachers.
This training unit aims to raise awareness of the contribution of practical work, such as development of finger dexterity, precision, concentration, perseverance, patience and social skills. The activities are based on learning by doing. The participants handcraft 5 useful objects, some of which are used to play a game, the most important goal of which is the development of social skills.
