The project aims to address a significant gap in understanding how the Cypriot educational system handles issues of systemic violence, particularly based on gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as child abuse. The research aims to evaluate the extent to which the principle of non-violence is integrated into primary education, with a focus on gender and race/ethnicity-based discrimination. The study will examine school policies, curricula, teacher training, and educational materials, with the goal of identifying weaknesses and strengths in addressing systemic violence. The research approach includes both qualitative and quantitative tools, such as questionnaires, interviews with teachers and other stakeholders, and workshops with children. Through this comprehensive methodology, the study will capture how the educational system either perpetuates or prevents systemic violence, offering evidence-based recommendations for strengthening the principle of non-violence in education.
