INTRODUCTION
Pedagogical Dictionary describes prophylactic actions as all of the actions against unwanted phenomena in development and behaviour of people. It is very important especially among young people who approach the age of adolescence the most important developmental stage for creating personality and proper self-esteem. Much potentially dangerous behaviour is formed during this period. Reacting to those is critical in forming good patterns of behaviour and preventing pathological states. Responsibility for those actions is held not only by parents but also by schools. That is why our Comenius project To live in agreement. Together against violence and conflicts tried to deal with the problem of aggression. The most important part of this project was implementing prophylactic programmes that are going to prevent students from aggressive behaviours. Our International Prophylactic Programme was the response to the increasing problem of aggression in our schools (especially psychological one). Our programme consists of lesson plans and workshops scripts but also contains other prophylactic ideas for actions during a school year. It was designed to be a practical tool that could be used not only in our schools but also in all European countries.

AGGRESSION QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS


Bulgaria
Even though in most schools there is an appointed commission working with cases of violence among students, the results from the survey and interviews indicate the need for a more active involvement of the pedagogical advisor. The latter has been taken int o account and for that reason from the current year there are two pedagogical advisers one for the pre-secondary stage and one for the secondary stage. This has not led to a considerable decrease of aggressive acts so far but definitely has improved the work of the pedagogical advisors with students and we are sure the corresponding results will be observed very soon. The work of the pedagogical advisor can also be facilitated by engaging students who can be quite helpful in coping with problems their classmates might be experiencing - appointing students as mediators in dealing with conflicts. Another aspect that has been indicated by the interviews with teachers and parents is the need for parents involvement. Parents admit and teachers testify about it children are different at school from what they are at home. Therefore, frequent meetings with parents and parents involvement in school activities could be a step to the right direction. Integrating the topic of violence and aggression in the regular curriculum by exploring its definition, causes, factors and consequences in different subjects and perspectives can also prove to be useful for coping with the problem. We should also mention the importance of physical activities not only practicing popular sports (there are various exercises specially designed to release stress e.g. forms of martial arts, Paneurhythmy). Last but not least, involving students in creative extracurricular activities is a very positive way of engaging their attention and energy and at the same time teaching them to work together. Although its a world spread practice, Bulgarian schools, for example, still show a certain lack of many extracurricular activities. Thus creating clubs of interests arts, music, cinema, literature, sports could be beneficial.

Poland
According to the survey held in Paderewski Private Grammar School in Lublin aggressive behaviours are quite rare. 66% of participants said that they had never experienced conflicts with colleagues and 89% had never used force against somebody else. Starting the project, we did not expect that 85% of students would consider violence as the most important issue in the todays world. That means that our students are aware of violence and aggression as important factors in nowadays relations. Media are showing multiple reports about terrorists attacks, religious conflicts and other violent crimes. It makes propagating tolerance and peace among youths even more important. After analysis of those results, we had even more motivation to work TOGETHER AGAINST VIOLENCE. Students of Paderewski Private Grammar School are aware of and appreciate the actions undertaken by the school staff to prevent violence as 65% of students said that school is dealing with aggression in a very good way. Our students are also very happy about different aspects of their lives. The participants of the Comenius project pointed out that they appreciate safety at school and are very glad about the relations they have with their school colleagues and families. It means that they do not suffer from violent acts in our school. The most common form of aggression present is psychological one especially insulting others and gossiping.

Romania

After having analyzed the results of the survey, which we carried out among our students last October 2010, we have drawn the following conclusions: Most of our students like going to school and find real friends in the school. Some of them claim that they get bored in the school. More than 50% of the students say they had a disagreement with a collegue once or twice during this school year The most common form of aggresion is gossiping and verbal aggression although physical aggression also happens. About 37% od students agreed that violence is a serious problem in pur school 29% of students admitted that drugs are a serious problem in our school and 28% of students admitted that alcohol use is also a serious problem. 45% of students considered smoking a problem in our school Almost 40% of students agreed that our school copes quite well with the problem of aggression but as many said that its not going well Most of the students admitted that they are quite happy or very happy with their lives although they are not very keen on our countrys politics

Slovakia
After having analyzed the results of the survey, which we carried out among our students last October 2010, we have drawn the following conclusions: Only one fifth of students like going to school, one tenth dislike. Almost a third of students have real friends in school. Teachers should think of the fact that a quarter of students are afraid of some lessons and one fifth is bored at school. 40% of students have already had a conflict with a teacher, more often older students. Almost a half of students have had a misunderstanding or conflict with a classmate, more often younger students.

More than 70% of students have experienced slender. Only one tenth of students have
already had experience with other forms of violence , what is good. Younger students indicate more conflicts with teachers. A lot of students aged 13-15 feel criticism as an insult.

Most often students have become witnesses of gossip (the half of older ones, but up to
90% of the youngsters). A quarter of them have seen how their friend hit somebody or he was hit by someone else. Younger students write that they have more conflicts with teachers its because of their age, when they have problem to respect adults. Almost 86 % of students claim that they have not hit anybody this year. Two thirds of students say that they have not offended anyone. A quarter admitted that they have done this once or twice. Many of younger students dont realize that their words can hurt somebody. Two thirds of students dont consider the violence in our school as a serious problem, but for one third of younger students it seems to be a problem because they cannot solve problems without violence. According to two thirds of students the drugs in our school are not a serious problem. Students take part in several school actions aimed at fight against drugs every schools year for example lectures with doctors or psychologists, discussions with people who are helped to get over drug addiction, meetings with the police coming to school

with trained dogs that are searching for drugs in the school etc. Some younger students can consider this preventive actions as solutions of the problems which have already occurred in our school. Students dont bring alcohol to school, but very often they try to bring it during a school trip. Sale of alcohol to persons under 18 is prohibited by the law in Slovakia. Nevertheless, many young people (and apparently younger than 18 years old) get drunk at a disco. Older friends buy alcohol for them. Alcohol Many people dont consider alcohol to be a drug. In Slovakia the laws supress smoking in schools (even in the school yard, trips, etc.). Teachers cant smoke in the school , too. Students-smokers, however, found a hidden place - under the class windows of younger students. Some parents prefer to give their children money for cigarettes to get on well with them. Almost three quarters of pupils think that school deals with violence very well. It is a good mark for school. This project has also contributed to it. Two thirds of students speak highly of the work of the Student Parliament. It is praise for parliament and a challenge to work even better. More than 95% (altogether) of our students experience in their family more happiness than unhappiness. Almost 95% of students are satisfied with their health its natural at their age. One fifth of students arent satisfied with their success at school. More than two thirds of pupils are dissatisfied with policy in their country. Many of them are probably more unhappy of politicians, than the policy.

Spain
After having analyzed the results of the survey, which we carried out among our students last October 2010, we have drawn the following conclusions:

A: Following is a summary of the results of the survey. 1. Most of our students assure that they have real friends at school and that they have not had any problems with their partners during the school year. 2. Most of them look worried about rumours about them at school but they have not suffered from physical violence. 3. Most of our students problems are related to insults and gossip behind their backs. 4. 70% of our students have never used physical violence at school. 5. 40% of them manifest that violence can be a serious problem at school. 6. 44% of them think that the school deals with the problems of violence and aggression effectively. 7. Our students look happy with the environment where they live. 8. 45% think they cannot trust one another. B: Conclusions. 1. Ours students are pleased with the relationship with their partners at school.

2. There are some problems of violence and aggression but related to rumours and minor insults. To avoid it, our students tend to ignore them. They follow the premise that he, who angers you, controls you and they want to be free.
10 | P a g e

3. They trust the school rules and the teachers intervention to prevent violence. 4. Our students hardly ever use violence and aggression to solve their problems. 5. There is a lack of reliability among students at school. They think they can be betrayed at any moment. 6. They try to solve their problems by sharing them with their closest friends so that they can intercede.

Turkey
After having analyzed the results of the survey, which we carried out among our students last October 2010, we have drawn the following conclusions: Most of our students like coming to school as they have to work in the summer. School is not only a place for education but also a place for relaxing for them. 65% of students are badly affected from the media ; news ,cinema exc. Most of the students admitted that the violence and aggression events which takes place in Turkey is affecting their daily life negatively. When asking What are these violence and aggressive events?, they firstly said PKK Terrorist Organisation, and secondly domestic violence. 70% of students believe that necessary measurements are taken and some good actions are done to prevent violence in our school. Although our school is formed of students from different cultures and most of them are poor, 80% of students think that violence behaviours are not common in the school. 90% of the students believe that they have learned how to deal with aggression and cope with it. After the Project finished, the teachers observe that the violence and aggression behaviours among students become rare. After conducting a survey, the most common types of violence in our school are verbal aggression and psychological violence.

BULGARIA
SCHOOL: Hristo Botev Secondary School SUBJECT: Literature TEACHER: Iliana Todorova (teacher of Bulgarian Language and Literature) CLASS: XI TIME : 40 minutes THEME: Crime and Punishment by F. M. Dostoevsky TYPE OF LESSON: discussion OBJECTIVE: to study the psychological aspects of violence and prove that every experiment set with the wrong theses can lead from good to evil and that a division into superior and inferior people leads to self-destruction. MATERIALS: A copy of Crime and Punishment, hand-outs with set questions, reference materials about current crimes local or world PROCEDURE:

1. The teacher introduces the issues in the novel and the main concepts necessary for the
students to set their strategy in order to prove their points

2. The students are free to relate the characters behaviour to reality 3. The motives for the crime should be approached as general for any crime personal
discontent and a feeling of non-punishability

4. Main arguments:
the most dreadful and strict judgment comes from the conscience a man is not born a criminal but becomes one everyone can change from evil to good to believe in the good is not nave, because only the good can end the vicious circle

EVALUATION: The students may be asked to respond to the discussion by writing an essay on one of the draw conclusions

SCHOOL: Hristo Botev Secondary School SUBJECT: History and Civilization, Geography and Economics, Philosophy TEACHERS: Maya Antova (teacher of History and Civilization), Daniela Bogdanova (teacher of Geography and Economics), Tatyana Angelova (teacher of Philosophy) CLASSES: IX XI (specialized classes in History and Civilization, Geography and Economics) TIME: 50 minutes THEME: VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT HISTORY TYPE OF LESSON: discussion OBJECTIVE: Exchange of opinions on preset key questions on the topic PROCEDURE: A group of students (4-5) from each class does their research on the topic before the discussion and presents their arguments. The actual discussion is also hosted by students and can be attended by younger students regardless of the fact they have not been introduced with the topic in class. The aim is to involve as many students as possible and raise interest and awareness while taking the students out of the classrooms and making them active participants in a learning process. The preparation requires guidance from teachers of History, Geography and Philosophy. The main points are as follows: 1. Acts of violence during the given historical ages: Primitive men killed for food Political interests provoke violence against other people
14 | P a g e

During the Middle Ages violence is equalled to a feat (war is a day-to-day event and the motives are religious, political, social); attitude towards the other

The New Age doesnt limit violence; it is a tool for distributing the world (Imperialism, Colonialism)

The Modern Age doesnt make us more humane; the world wars are a result of the civilized progress (they are the most brutal and wide-spread form of violence)

2. Hot spots in the modern world which provoke violence Geopolitical factors The Near East North America World terrorism

3. Philosophical aspects of the problem Violence as a biologically conditioned process Physical and psychological violence Dealing with conflicts

3. Checking the homework

4. Four students are chosen to solve a problem on the blackboard.

Presenting the content and the new learning tasks

We will solve the following problems : 1. The number of events having violent consequences was 54 last year in the whole county with 11% less than the previous year. How many events took place two years ago? Of the 800 students in one school, 2% acted violently in the last school year. How many students are there?

The chosen students will solve the problems on the blackboard, and the rest in their notebooks.

21 | P a g e

Directing the learning process and evaluation

The teacher follows the solving of the problems on the blackboard and in the notebooks, corrects the mistakes, and makes remarks to help solve the problems rapidly.

The students solve each problem individually and correct the mistakes in their homework, when the teacher makes the correction. The students pay attention to what the teacher says

Preparing the new lesson

Next, I would like to underline the connection between mathematics and preventing violence. As you know, we discussed in the past about how mathematics helps us develop a logical and rational way of thinking Rational thinking helps us make the correct decisions, in every day life, and to control the impulses that might sometimes lead to violence of all kinds: verbal, non-verbal or even physical. Any conflict can be solved by communication We continue to study practical lessons and today we will talk about statistical data. The title of the lesson is GATHERING AND CLASSIFYING STATISTIC DATA

Intensifying the retention and transfer of information

Our every day life gives us many experiments that can be repeated. By statistic data, we understand values of physical or economical measures, obtained by measuring. To make this information useful, statistic data are processed by statistic means that refer to gathering, classifying, processing ad interpreting them. Definition: We have an experiment E and X the measure referring to the E experiment. Any finite series of values of X, noticed or measured, not necessarily different ones, is called series (or a series or selection) of statistic data, of the volume n. Any subseries of those are called an sample. A sample is thought to be representative according t the context. Statistic analyses is done in many cases. As an example, with polls regarding elections, the statistic population is represented by all people that have the right to vote, but, with the polls, the interviewed citizens are only a small part of this population. We present a few terms specific to the vocabulary of statistics: a) Any statistic study is made upon a certain

mass called a statistical population. b) The elements of the population are called statistic units. c) Statistic analyse has as object a propriety of the statistic units called characteristic, that can be quantitative (expressed through a number) or qualitative. d) The values characteristics are called statistic data Grouping statistic data by classes of variation of the numeric characteristic X, with witch you make the statistical analyse is useful for quantitative characteristics, which take a great number of values There are 3 main methods to gather the data : 1) Retroactive data extracted from archives or statistic yearbook 2) Direct observation. 3) Planned experiment, determining the evolution of some processes or phenomena.

The students watch the lesson in the AEL programme.

Graphic representation of statistic data: A. Circular diagram B. Diagram through strips and columns C. Diagram through bars Independent work : 1. Make a statistic of verbal violence at the students that are present in your class. 2. Make a statistic of the citizens of your city that were victims to domestic violence in 2010 3.

The teachers activity Prayer Writing the absents Preparing to begin the lesson Organize the class in two teams for the debate: - one that supports civil law - the other supports the religious law - leaders of the debate - Conclusion. Religious law is superior to civil law because the church respects the right of life of all people. God made the world good and all the things in perfect harmony (F. Ap. 17, 24). Thus, we find out from the biblical fragment that after each stage of order such as the existential categories, God, saw that what he had done is very good; what he had done was it an anthropomorphic form of expression by that just shows the goodness of the created state. Moreover, after the 6th and last stage of creation when man is brought to life, it is stated that God looked at everything that he had done and all were very good Gen. 1, 31) .This serious form of deterioration of interpersonal relationships occurred even within the first family, the murder of Abel by his own brother, who was Cain (Gen. 4.8 U.S.). From the beginning to the end of the Scripture condemns the sin of violence. Another word even more suggestive illustrative that the Saviour is this: Heard you that it was said of old Do not kill, and kill him that is worthy of

ANNEX 1

How we define violence?

How can we define abuse and what are its forms?

What are the consequences of violence on childrens development? The main function of the family, raising children, is distorted by large and dramatic consequences in the future. Disruption of this function usually occurs as a chronic condition that worsens in times of violent events. Trauma research shows that children who grow up in an atmosphere of violence, even if they are not direct victims, is more intense and more profound impact and lasting only if co Children who grow up in violent families develop behaviours and a physical condition that makes them easily recognizable. They have: - physical problems, unexplained illnesses, exposure to accidents in the house and outside the home, slower physical development - emotional and mental problems: increased anxiety, feeling of guilt, fear of abandonment, isolation, anger, fear of injury and death - psychological problems: diffidence, depression, comparison with peers happier life - behaviour problems: aggression or passive aggression of others, sleeping problems, enuresis, fighting, running away from home, young pregnancies, relationships to escape from home, mutilation, drug and alcohol consumption, defensive behaviour with error - school Problems - confidence, elimination, sudden changes in school performance, lack of concentration, lack of social manners - Identification with negative heroes

"...respecting human rights must be part of the global education and human dignity, and all the aspects of physical or mental violence against any person is a violation of his rights " European Parliament, Resolution, 11th of June, 1986 From a clinical point of view, a widely accepted definition of violence is that of Stark and Flitcraft: Domestic violence is a threat or the infliction of a physical injury, present or a past one, in the context of a relationship between social partners, regardless of their legal status . The physic or sexual assault may be accompanied by intimidation or verbal abuses; the destruction of property belonging to the victim; isolating from friends, family or other potential sources of support; threats made to other significant persons for the victim, such as children; theft; controlling the victims money, personal belongings, food, journeys, telephone or other sources of care and protection. Any harming action, physical or emotional, that takes place between the members of a family, is called domestic violence The abuse within a family can have many forms: verbal abuse, economic abuse, isolation from friends and family, threats or assaults that can cause the death of one of the partners. The experts who study this problem agree that this is the most commonly met with type of violence, because some of these facts are not reported to the police or to hospitals.

The main purpose of abuse is to get power and control ( Ganley,1996). There are 5 types of abuse that can appear in a relationship based on violence: physical, emotional, economical, psychological, and sexual. In physical abuse, a person tries to cause an injury to another person, through shouting, stabbing, pushing, hurting by using blunt objects, legs, In emotional abuse, a person tries to undermine the personality of another person, through critics, insults that cause an inferiority feeling and the ability to manipulate. In economic abuse, the abuser takes the victim in a financial dependent position (Chez, 1994). The abuser is the one who decides how money will be spent, which can involve different financial knowledge, or it can intersect with certain economic levels. Examples of maintaining financial control are those where the victim is not allowed to work, strict records on each dollar spent are kept or the abuser does not accept for the other person to get employed Through the fact that it leads to the installation of fear, psychological abuse, is a way to ensure that the abuse dominates the victim. The threat of violence can be channelled directly to the victim or can become a threat of suicide. Intimidation can be directed both to property, a loved one or pet.

THE MOMENTS IMPULSE

A 40 years old woman is robbed one evening by four young people, who were returning home from a club. The police investigation reveals that the woman was pregnant, had 3 more children at home, two bank credits that had to be paid from the pay check that was stolen from her and that the physical injuries caused by the young people needed 12 days in the hospital. From the declarations of the young men, they were 12th grade students, they were unaware of the womans problems and regretted what they did. All that they can remember from that night was that they were a little drunk and they needed some money to continue their fun time in the club. They did not expect for the woman to fight back and they had to hit her. But it happened and now they regret it. One of them was caught a week later, when he was placing in the womans postal box the papers discovered in the stolen purse , convinced that it is the least he can do to fix it.

THE CONCEPT OF QUALITY CONTROL

Quality surveillance is ongoing monitoring and verification of the status of an entity to ensure that specified requirements are met.

Quality assessment is the systematic examination, carried out to determine whether an entity is able to meet the specified requirements.

QUALITY CONTROL

Quality inspections represent activities in which one or more characteristics of an entity are measured, examine, tried and the result is compared with the specified requirements in order to determine the conformity of those characteristics

The quality check is the confirmation of compliance with the requirements specified by examining and bringing tangible evidence.

You can use information from the studies presented below, on which you build and other proposals in this regard: a). Opinions on the sources of violence in schools

HEAD MASTERS AND TEACHERS - Student programs loaded induce stress, fatigue
- disadvantageous schedule - working with too many students in the classroom - difficulty to use the same methods to different students (some difficult) - poor school infrastructure - lack of extracurricular activities;

SCHOOL COUNCELORS

- Student-teacher communication is poor


- a subjective evaluation of the students - Students have a negative influence of problem - Teachers do not have adequate pedagogical training

- In the competitiveness of the school climate is predominantly OPINIONS ON THE SOURCES OF

- lack of school souncelors.

VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS

PARENTS

STUDENTS

- Differences in socioeconomic status (studentstudent, professor-student), the diminished authority of teachers. - Subjective assessment of the teacher - Poor protection measures

- Poor communication between teachers and


students - The teachers lack of interest in the pupils - Evaluation bias

- School lax regulation (lack of evidence identifying the students) - This dangerous elevilorproblem - Reduce teacher authority.

- teaching unattractive - competitive climate - verbal abuse of teachers (rarely physically) - Sanctions unwarranted.

b) Tips to identify monitor and prevent inappropriate behaviour by teachers against students:

40 | P a g e

Identification: Questionnaires for students, teachers and parents.

In order to identify possible sources of violence, you can use questionnaires for students, teachers and parents. The answers to these questions will provide an insight into situations of violence and sources of teachers in your school.

Monitoring: Criteria and indicators to help identify sources of tension.

Include in the observation sheet for the work of teachers, criteria and indicators to help identify sources of tension in the school. It can develop a series of indicators based on the following criteria: - The manifestation of physical aggression against students - Manifestation of verbal and nonverbal aggression - The degree of transparency in evaluation - The degree of implication of pupils in the assessment process - Adequacy of sanctions - Discriminatory attitudes - The attractiveness of the content of the lesson - The degree of participation of the students in the learning process - Differential treatment of students - The degree to encourage individual initiatives degree students in learning - The degree to encourage communication and cooperation between student

Preventing (check): "Urn of students"

The creation of a special place in school where students feel safe with the possibility to inform about any inappropriate behaviour in school. Proposals from the Students Council to identify school through debate and other original and effective ways, the situations faced by students in school. Their feedback are important resources for establishing the schools future development strategies.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS EAT FISH! - article for group IV Our diet has more in common with us than we think. My better half often laughs at me that I would buy everything where on the label, among the components, it is written "Omega 3". Indeed, I happened to buy even an exotic juice with the acids in its ingredients. In addition, I frequently take Omega-3 fatty acids, given in the form of fish oil tablets. Why am I so much crazy about omega? Because it serves well the two most important human organs. In addition, it appears that it may also cure crime ... Polyunsaturated fatty acids -3, simply called omega-3, have a salutary effect on our body. Its impact on the heart was summed up well by the recently deceased Professor Zbigniew Religa with the words "Fish fat is the best prevention of heart disease." The acids reduce blood clotting by lowering blood pressure at the same time and they lower triglycerides in blood, protecting against heart attack or sudden cardiac death. The main source of this essential diet component is marine fish - mainly mackerel and salmon. Today, however, we need not walk around with a fishing rod and look for the most nutritious and wildly living fish you can get their essence in every pharmacy in tablets or liquid. However, the treatment of heart and the main sources of omega-3 are not what I would like to focus on today. The old adage that we are what we eat works in new circumstances. Children in this case, are what their mother ate during pregnancy. A diet rich in red meat and low in vegetables and, importantly, the fish used in the case of pregnant women makes children born have a higher risk of neurological and psychiatric diseases. The study by Child & Family Research Institute in Vancouver, clearly indicate that the development of networks of fast food will not do us any good. The combination of what we eat with our state of the brain, however, is fortunately noticed by more people - hence the action like "Change your diet, change your mind" conducted by the organization Sustein in the UK. Actually, there are very interesting studies carried out on omega 3 and prisoners. Professor Bernard Gesch chose the prison in Aylesbury as his goal of research. 231 prisoners were divided into two groups. He diversified meals to all prisoners, but one group got a placebo as their diet supplement, while the other one unsaturated fatty acids. Prison guards noted in the "fish" group a decrease of aggressive behaviour by 37%. "Placebo team" still fought hard with each other. The results are also confirmed by the very end of the experiment - the return to the old diet resulted in a rapid restoration of the argument of force in everyday conversation. "Poor diet causes bad behaviour, and prevents good one" - these words, by the prison inspector David Ramsbothama, perfectly convey the sense of research on prisoners, which the U.S. government have commissioned the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to carry out. For three weeks, a group of 80 respondents was taking 2 grams of omega-3. The results? "I do not recognize myself" - said one of the volunteers, who became famous for the fact that he once threw himself on his wife with a knife just because she cut off his television. Another seasoned in combat bar gentleman proudly announced that for 5 years he had never had such long abstinence from aggression - the entire 3 months. But mackerel and salmon can help not only aggression.

BRAIN DIET- Article for group III

Japanese scientists have shown that improper food, rich in sugars, fats and chemicals, can cause drowsiness, irritability, and even aggression. A similar view is shared by Elizabeth Somer, author of "The impact of food on mood." Balance of all nutrients is the foundation of wellbeing.

Some products may have positive effects on memory (e.g. carrot, lemon, pineapple, soy, nuts, and bananas), increase vital energy (vegetables, fruits) or reduce the appetite (mineral water). When we are stressed, we often do not have the inclination or the time for proper nutrition, and that is when the body needs are increased. Poor diet only aggravates fatigue and depression. By changing the diet, we can overcome a bad mood, and increase immunity. We all know that diet affects our health and affects the way we feel, think, act, and sleep, especially when we are under stress. An upset person sometimes ignores the diet and cannot control the desire to eat. Stress is accompanied by increased appetite for certain products or dishes. Meanwhile, what we eat has a big impact on the activity of the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is responsible for controlling emotions, motivation, and nutritional requirements. It regulates mood, appetite, sleep, and inhibits aggression. Studies in experimental animals have shown that blocking the synthesis of serotonin causes aggression. Also in humans, improper nutrition and lack of serotonin can lead to irritation, discontent, and even aggression.

In addition to physical hunger, there is also psychological hunger, caused by the need to enjoy the well-being and peace. It can be satisfied only by supplementing deficiency of serotonin. Carbohydrates through chemical reactions in the brain stimulate the production of serotonin. Anti-stress defence system starts to work and reduces emotional tension and, consequently, the desire to overeat. You should eat food rich in complex carbohydrates - bread, pancakes, rice, or pasta. Between meals, we eat fruits or vegetables rich in carbohydrates, which are preferably also added to every meal. Protein-rich foods, such as fish, veal, lean chicken or legumes eaten along with vegetables and products of whole grains cause an increase in brain tyrosine levels. Scientific studies have shown that tyrosine increases the life energy and improves concentration.

WORK SCHEME: Introduction Greeting, introduction to the workshops

Main part 3. 1-2-4-8-16-32 All students are given one sheet of paper with different situations (Appendix 1). They are asked to say which one is anger, aggression and violence. Then they consult it in pairs. Next, pairs are joined and they keep on discussing in groups of four and so on. After discussion with the whole group, students are supposed to create a definition of anger, aggression, and violence and write them on the big sheets of paper.

Info for a teacher: Anger is an emotion/feeling. It is connected with energy accumulating when we meet any obstacles in the way to our aim. It is common for everyone and we cannot help it coming. It is not good or bad but we have an influence on what we do when we feel it.

78 | P a g e

Aggression is defined as a conscious, planned behaviour aimed to cause harm to somebody (either physical or psychological or material). It is characterized by using physical or mental force against somebody who is equal when it comes to strength or opportunities to defend themselves. Aggression is a way of manifesting anger. In special circumstances, it can cause violence.

Violence is using your strength against somebody who is weaker. We are dealing with violence if a person (victim) is a subject of negative behaviours of another person or a group of people over a longer period.

4. Forms of aggression All students are asked to name one form of aggression present in their school. All forms are written on the big sheet of paper in the form of a sun. You can ask students how they think it comes to such situations.

Info for a teacher: There are several forms of aggression:


Direct physical violence - beating, kicking, spitting, pushing, extortion of money, stealing, destruction of property, laughing at somebody Direct violence, verbal and non-verbal - teasing, mocking, insulting, ridiculing, threatening, spreading gossip and slanders (including text messages and the Internet), showing obscene gestures Indirect forms of violence - instigating others to physical or verbal attacks, stigma, exclusion and isolation from the group

5. Fighting aggression and violence Students are divided into 2 groups the first one thinks of actions from their school that help dealing with symptoms of aggression and violence; the second one thinks of actions that help performing aggressive and violent acts. Both groups write their ideas on big sheets of paper. Discussion with the whole group.

Then they are asked to form a group of twos and find common ways of dealing with anger. The same in fours. Each group picks three most common ways and puts them on a big sheet of paper together with other groups. Each group is asked about their choices.

3. Fruit salad All students are asked to sit in a circle again. The instructor standing in the middle divides them into groups of 3-5 and names them with fruit names (apples, bananas, etc.). Then he or she says 2-3 fruit names. People who are those fruits are supposed to change seats. When he or she says fruit salad, all the people are supposed to change seats and he or she is supposed to sit somewhere too. We end up with a new instructor (there are not enough chairs for 1 person to seat!).
