Programme “School Without Violence” is financed through the support of the local community, individual donations and sponsorship from the private and public sector. Cinema City Festival will try to, through its visitors, collect funds for including Chemical Medical School from Vrsac in this programme.
Visitors who donate 50 dinars when buying tickets will with their festival ticked receive UNICEF stamp and help in realizing this programme which is right now being conducted in 188 elementary schools and 9 high schools across Serbia.
On June 10, at 17:00h, visitors will have an opportunity to participate in Forum theatre play “Stop” which is one of the results, but also one of programme’s methods of preventing violence. During the day youth of Novi Sad will hace a chance to sign up as volunteers in “School Without Violence” programme and contribute to these efforts. Forms for signing up will be available at Cinema City outlets, or you can download it from here.
A research on types and intensity of violence was conducted in all schools which have enrolled in the programme so far. Research on 27.000 students and 3.400 adults from 50 schools indicated that 65% of the students was at least once and 24% was more than once exposed to some form of violent behavior in a three-month period. The most frequent forms of violent behavior are verbal violence, gossiping and scheming, then threats and intimidations. Let us change that!
LET’S STOP VIOLENCE TOGETHER!
