Abstract:
Rapidly changing time is a problem: are we able to deal with all challenges in a humanistic and peaceful way? Is it possible? Do falling barriers to trade have led to a rapid change in social life and in the movement of products and labor? With these exciting transformations also came great challenges and threats, at a time when we seem to like each other less and less, with partisan affective polarization on the rise in a country after country.
The main idea of our work is the presentation of the intervention program based on the heritage of work the French Research Committee on Violence, Crime, and Delinquency, who published 40 years ago a document Society against Violence. The document contained analyses on the occurrence of social problems and their determinants, as well as guidelines to reduce risks and reduce the sense of threat, insecurity culture and institutional violence in modern society.
Based on the conclusion included in Report “Society against Violence” we prepared the special training. The theoretical assumption of the project is the Levinian model of changes in society and his methodology of action research.
The aims of the program are to change attitudes in the field of knowledge and attitudes towards the used violence and to improve the skills to react in situations of confrontation with institutional or press aggression or the so-called manifestations of "hate speech" in educational institutions.
Because of Coronavirus lockdown, we are able to present the only idea and the first step of implementation (the realization was stopped)
Maybe our program is in a primary stage but we believe that modern societies should relay and based on the idea of Human Rights and spread them elsewhere and that violence in modern societies should be reduced by human rights and democracy education.Keywords:
