As the first activity of this project, а survey of 1,500 students in 15 secondary schools was conducted, followed by an interview with the school's expert services on how often they are experiencing violence in their schools.

This training was attended by 28 professors from 14 secondary schools at the level of Macedonia. The training was led by the trainer Anna Pop Rizova, who is a psychologist and psychotherapist by profession. Participants of the training worked in groups, interactive exercises on the topic of violence in schools, and discussion of examples of violence that they face in their schools. With the help of the survey and the training, a clear picture was obtained about the real situation in the schools today.
