The goal of Ofbeldisvarnarskólinn is to teach prevention of violence.

The Violence Prevention School

The Violence Prevention School aims to disseminate effective violence prevention measures. This goal is pursued through research, development of educational materials, conducting courses, participation in international collaborative projects, and work on awareness campaigns.

  • Various types of educational and training materials are being developed for violence prevention. Emphasis is placed on providing free access to these materials whenever possible, and they can be accessed on the school's website.
  • Education is offered for both children and adults, but the focus is on education for adults in children's and adolescents' immediate environment – such as teachers, youth center staff, and others who work with children, parents, and other caregivers. Behind this strategy lies the idea that it is best for children if prevention is carried out by the people closest to them, to open the discussion and show that it is possible to turn to adults in their immediate environment.

The Violence Prevention School also undertakes to organize staff development days for companies and institutions, focusing on violence prevention and improving workplace culture.
