ProSAVE is a European project developed with the contribution of partner organizations from Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Malta, Romania, Slovenia and Spain, actively operating in the education field.

The main objective of ProSAVE is to prevent the phenomena of ‘social violence’ amongst peers, creating and applying a set of innovative measures based on prosociality. The partnership consider prosociality a powerful tool to promote universal human values such as: socialization, sharing, cooperation, respect, acceptance of diversity as an added value, peace, psychological wellbeing, unity, quality communication, empathy.

ProSAVE intends to develop a European cooperation to organize practical paths towards the realization of a new, proactive and strong “educating community”, promoting a greater contact among schools, families and territory to re-launch the social dynamics of this community, to enhance the sharing of a common framework of values, and to raise awareness about the culture of legality, ethics and solidarity.

The project wants to extend this process from the local to the European dimension to meet the need of inclusion and peace emerging in our time and to promote the values of brotherhood helping children to face violence.

The main contribution of ProSAVE is the development of a European “peace code” network that, in the different countries involved, will develop a series of relational competences that are the base of the “active citizenship”. It contains the methodologies, specifically addressed to all the educators, for the detection of child hostility and the application of concrete responses that will allow them not only to solve the problem once it is detected but also to prevent it.
