School and sexualized violence

According to the Independent Commissioner for Child Sexual Abuse Issues (UBSKM), it can be assumed that there are one or two pupils in every class who have been affected by sexual abuse. Various forms of sexualized violence can also be found at school, such as assaults by other pupils or by teachers. The forms of sexualized violence that occur via social media are a particular challenge. This means that schools have an important role to play in prevention and support. Dealing with cases of sexualized violence can be a critical field of action for supervisors, school management, crisis teams, school social workers and teachers. It is therefore of great importance to strengthen the confidence of those involved in the school context and to promote good cooperation. Schools should be a safe space that is free from sexualized violence and other forms of violence. Schools should also be a place of competence where those affected can be offered help. 

At the "School and sexualized violence" symposium of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Institute of Education, you can expect contributions from the Rhineland-Palatinate State Institute of Education, the State Council of Affected Persons and the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Education. Two schools will report on their protection concept development processes, as well as the head teacher and author Silke Müller. A total of 21 practice-oriented workshops by proven experts will round off this specialist day. 

klicksafe is represented at the event and offers information material as well as the workshop "From sexually harassing communication to cybergrooming: protecting and strengthening children and young people against sexualized violence online".

The event will take place in person. The plenary presentations will be broadcast online and some will be recorded. The face-to-face workshops will not be broadcast. Separate workshops will be offered for participants in the online format.
