Without violence, a peace manual is. It wants to convey to children, young people and adults around the world how they can solve conflicts peacefully.
Without violence, there is a prevention of violence for children in schools and social institutions. The curriculum is structured in such a way that it can be used worldwide: for children in crisis areas, in developing countries, but also in the everyday living environment in the western context. There is violence all over the world: whether at school, on the schoolyard, on the bus or at home. The program is aimed at children from six to twelve years.
Without violence, together is a curriculum that is supposed to reduce aggressive behavior of children. The children are trained in social behavior. They learn to perceive their feelings and express them, to perceive their own limits and that of others. Solving conflicts peacefully without applying violence is the learning objective of this program.

The author
Rita Erben, Germany born in 1955, lived in Cologne and since 2008 in South India/ Auroville. Studied social pedagogy and communication sciences. After ten years of work as a social worker, I switched to the media. Since 1993 I have been a free radio and film author for the public legal institutions (ARD and ZDF) with a focus on human rights and social policy. Motivation for the project: "I have worked in war and crisis areas worldwide for 15 years. What I learned during this time: Peace cannot be found by violence, not even through science, revolutions or religions. Peace can only be found in yourself. Cooperation in this peace folder is a beginning."
Astrid Kummer, lives in Berlin, Germany. She previously lived in Auroville, India for many years. In recent years, she has participated in theater and clown workshops in various countries and implemented what they had learned there in their projects. "I think it is very important that we become aware of ourselves, our feelings, our inhibitions, our strengths and how we deal with others. I have not learned something like this at school. So I think that children can be better equipped for life if they learn to get to know and understand themselves better. And hopefully that would lead to all more peaceful with each other.
Emanuele Scanziani, Italy was born in Milano in 1966, Italy, and began his career as an illustrator at the age of 16. "For 12 years I worked in the family business - a drawing office where I designed greeting cards and illustrated children's books. In 1995 I moved to Auroville, where I remained loyal to my job. Since then I have illustrated many books for projects from all over the world - projects that drive sustainable development, promote ecological awareness and support pedagogy."
