There are numerous initiatives, programs and projects that aim to improve the school climate and to support students in crisis situations. The sustainable implementation of these concepts also requires non -violent action by teachers and pedagogical specialists. Those responsible should deal with the students appreciatively and train them in non -violent conflict solutions to secure long -term successes.
