Activities during the meeting in Germany


Coming together, getting to know and to learn to respect each other was one of the aims of the project meeting in Germany in November 2017.

There we organised different cultural and physical activities.


  1. Students from the 6 nations created plates in mixed teams and every country could take one home as a reminder and memory of this meeting.


  1. An international table football tournament made everybody active and empathic with their teams. But the national teams were a random mix and so they had to grow together quickly to be the winner of the match.


  1. A wooden goal wall was created, installed and then also tried out in an internationally mixed tournament.


  1. One evening the guests were introduced in the Bavarian game of playing skittles. As it was played in two teams the students had to be mixed and then help together to win the tournament.

All in all everybody enjoyed himself and it helped a lot to grow together and in the end of the meeting there was only one big R.E.S.P.E.C.T. team. A lot of tears made departing hard but the wonderful moments and experiences of those days made it easy to stay in contact.

Establishing a mediator system (German activity 5)


Author: Franz Schifferl
School, country: Mittelschule Woerth, Germany
Subject: Aggression - Αcceptance - Resolving conflicts
Title of the activity: “Mediator system”
Level: Secondary, 10 to 16

To enable students to resolve conflicts themselves, without the intervention of teachers, we established a mediator system. Interested students from grade 7 and older get trained in conflict management. They have their own room, where during the breaks they help other pupils to end fighting and come to a solution that helps both rivals.

Mediators at work

During their training they developed their own emblem:



It stands for: respect, solidarity, equality and trust.

Every term new students get trained and afterwards presented to their schoolmates:

Presentation of the new mediators

The mediators are well accepted by their schoolmates and already helped to end lots of conflicts before they resulted in actual bullying.
